Theorising Africa's Place in FIFA's Global OrderConclusion; Epilogue; Notes; Bibliography; Index 330 $aThis book explores the role of FIFA in brokering the development of football in Africa and its relationship with that continent's football associations and regional governing body. Africa is no longer on the periphery of world football but the economic disparities between the first and the third worlds hinder the development of the game. The author shows convincingly how Africa's advance within world football is tied to its national political economy and how the balance of power within FIFA still clearly favours its European members. 410 0$aSport in the Global Society 606 $aSoccer$zAfrica$xHistory 606 $aSoccer$xPolitical aspects$zAfrica 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aSoccer$xHistory. 615 0$aSoccer$xPolitical aspects 676 $a796.334/096 700 $aDarby$b Paul$f1971,$0907833 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452456803321 996 $aAfrica, football, and FIFA$92030701 997 $aUNINA
