THE SOUL OF AFRICAN FOOTBALL CAPTURED IN A We have two versions of the book available for purchase. A soft cover magazine edition and a hardcover coffee table limited edition. |
There is not a single village in Africa that exists without a football. Western fanaticism for watching sport cannot come close to matching Africa’s all-consuming passion for playing the game. And they do so, come what may. Here you will find ingenuity, doggedness, kindness and sheer joy. This book is about not just about football, or indeed about football in Africa. It’s a book that tries to capture the beauty and strength of the human spirit. In Africa, football is not a religion. But it is everything a religion should be. Every village in Africa has one open-air temple with goal posts at opposite ends and devoted followers in the middle. Football breathes happiness into sun-baked days and rain-soaked evenings. On a continent where not even the basics are taken for-granted, football is precious. And like everything that’s truly precious, it’s a necessity, like bread and water. |
