From 11 June to 11 July 2010 South Africa is hosting the FIFA 2010 Football
World Cup. Thirty-two teams are taking part in the tournament and an
estimated 2.7 million local spectators will view 64 matches played in nine
stadiums around the country. In terms of the number of global viewers, the
World Cup is the world's largest sporting event.
To mark this event, the Library, Documentation and Information Department of
the African Studies Centre has compiled this web dossier on Football and
sport in Africa. The dossier contains titles from the library's collection,
including monographs, articles, and films, published since 2004. The titles
are arranged in four sections, preceded by an introduction and followed by a
selection of web resources All titles are available in the ASC library, each
title linking directly to the corresponding record in the library’s
online
catalogue, which provides further details and, in many cases, an
abstract. For titles in the ASC collection published before 2004, see our
earlier web dossier on
African sport (February 2004).

Since South Africa’s bid for the 2010 Football World Cup was awarded by
FIFA in May 2004, the country’s preparations for the event as well as the
possible socio-economic impact of the World Cup tournament have been the
focus of world-wide debate. On the one hand, it is argued that sporting
events like the Football World Cup can play an important economic role as
well as being useful catalysts in forging social cohesion and nationbuilding
in the developing world. Others contend that hosting this event will not
necessarily help alleviate poverty or stimulate urban development. While in
2004 public expenditure on the tournament was estimated at around 1.4
billion euros, in early 2010 estimates amounted to some 4 to 5 billion. The
host cities talk of their 2010 'legacy', anticipating that the greater
benefit of hosting 2010 matches will lie less in the event itself than in
the long-term benefits of transport, sports and other infrastructure
investment, and in the image created of the cities as a destination for
tourists and investment. Critics emphasize that the newly built large
capacity stadiums like the Greenpoint stadium in Cape Town threaten to end
up as ‘white elephants’ on the continent. In South Africa itself, optimism
seems to prevail, which is exemplied by Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s words:
“with all the negative things that are taking place in Africa, this is a
superb moment for us. If we are going to have white elephants, so be it”.

The World Cup 2010 has given rise to numerous publications on the history
and development of football in Africa. They show, amongst others, that while
in most African nations, the domestic leagues are financially unstable,
politically corrupt, and lack quality facilities, the World Cup is expected
to have a positive influence on the African football world. Recently, famous
African football players like George Weah (Liberia) and Didier Drogba (Côte
d’Ivoire) have been active in the humanitarian field. Hundreds of
organizations all over Africa combine football and social causes. The future
development of football in Africa will also be influenced by the
achievements of the six African teams competing in the World Cup – Algeria,
Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and South Africa. An important
question for many is whether or not the African teams will be able to make a
good run during the competition.
