L’After Foot is a long-running daily sports talk show and podcast produced by the French media group RMC. Celebrating its twentieth season, the program serves as a central platform for the analysis of French and international football, with a primary focus on Ligue 1, the French national team, and European club competitions such as the UEFA Champions League. The show is characterized by its late-night time slot and its commitment to unfiltered, opinionated debate regarding match results, player performances, and club management.
The programming is organized into several distinct blocks throughout the evening. The schedule typically begins with "Génération After," hosted by Nicolas Jamain, which features a panel of pundits including Walid Acherchour, Kevin Diaz, and Elton Mokolo. This segment emphasizes tactical analysis and contemporary football culture. On match nights, "After Live" provides real-time coverage and immediate post-whistle reactions, often featuring contributions from former professional players like Eric Di Meco, Emmanuel Petit, Jérôme Rothen, and Lionel Charbonnier to provide technical insights.
The core of the broadcast is the late-night segment running from 10:00 PM to midnight. This portion is led by Gilbert Brisbois and Daniel Riolo, who have been central to the show’s identity since its inception. They are frequently joined by Florent Gautreau and Jean-Louis Tourre from Sunday to Thursday. The editorial tone is notably direct and conversational, encouraging listener participation and critical perspectives that deviate from standard match commentary. On weekends, Carine Galli assumes hosting duties for the late-night sessions. While the show is produced by a French network and conducted in the French language, it reaches a wide international audience via digital syndication. The program remains a significant fixture in the sports media landscape due to its longevity and its role in shaping public discourse around professional football in the francophone world.
