André Remy and Mexigoal: How the 1986 World Cup Transformed Sports at RTBF

The show Mexigoal, hosted by André Remy during the 1986 World Cup, revolutionized football coverage at RTBF by introducing live debates and analyses. Remy, who co-hosted the program with Michel Lecomte, captured the excitement of the Red Devils, who reached the tournament's semifinals. His innovative approach builds on his previous work since Euro 80, attracting attention beyond Belgian borders and leading to his recruitment by Canal+ in 1989. Mexigoal remains a symbol of his legacy in sports journalism.
