Africa is no longer on the periphery of world football but the economic disparities between the first and the third worlds hinder the development of the game. The author shows convincingly how Africa's advance within world football is tied to its national political economy and how the balance of power within FIFA still clearly favours its European members.Sport in the Global SocietySoccerAfricaHistorySoccerPolitical aspectsAfricaSoccerHistory.SoccerPolitical aspects796.334/096Darby Paul1971-1711812Jordaan Danny1951-auiOCoLC-POCoLC-PBOOK9910808437703321Africa, football and FIFA4103417UNINA
