Football in Africa

Afrika Studiecentrum, Leiden

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 in Leiden has compiled a 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.
