You can be in that conversation as well. What do you want to know about african football from a womens perspective, how is the sport doing Comment Section right here. Be part of todays show. Im going to show you a picture of deseret working quite recently at the womens african cup of nations. Deseret. What were you doing here . What was going through your head . That is a moment when im not happy. When im not happy and im just looking and seeing where i can contribute. You know to him, hes laughing because he knows exactly what, what that picture looks like. 10 b, tempe. When your coach looks like this, what, what is she yelling out at the place . It depends. It depends on what we have done. But i think it would be a moment to a should be expecting us to be, you know, screen or in a moment where were supposed to not be getting a call again. So i know that look and its not a really good look. Yeah. So we, can we go from serious desert a very serious here to this desert . Articulate that small, those thoughts, that energy. It was, it was a moment that its very difficult to describe when you have just become an african champion. We so many things are going your mind where you actually showing people back home and thanking them for the support. Thank you. Everyone, the support that you and i still have a very big smile. I cant stop smiling. I sometimes people with my middle right next to me and i want to pinch myself, you know, is this really true . Its something that we have worked for for the last 4 years and its finally come through. So yeah, something that you, you almost tell someone pinch me, pinch me. So i am thinking usher angenie this moment here where there was so much pride from South Africans that their National FemaleFootball Team came out as champions. What does that mean . Is that a big meaning to where football is on the african continent for women . Usher, you start . Well, honestly, when you think about the investment that south africa as a country has put into womens football over the years, and especially in the last 30 years, it only befitting that the one this years wife going, its a story that replicates. And that shows that there are no shortcuts to success for a very long time. So africa was the almost team, you know. But finally, they turned on that switch. And you know, you could feel even at halftime busier and know you could feel that, you know, that africa have an edge of moral grade that final. And im so happy for everyone that has contributed to that journey. Its just a clear message. You know out there that you have to invest and when you invest in womens football youll get the results. Its just as simple as that. Jenny, im just wondering about who the best female Football Teams on the african continent can do 1234 for us please. Up. But who bought things on the continent, nigeria, south africa, queen. At the moment, moral co and edge in that as well. Zombie i come our own funds will not like what i said. Oh ok. So in the last few years that has been real strategy, real efforts to improve african football for women. Tell me, what have you seen . What difference is it now as a player on the african continent . Because i can be what come back to you. We need to do some playing around, but youll have friends who may come right back to you. And let me just pass that along to your coach, deseret. Whats changed in the last few years, i think has been a campaign, a strategy from the confederation of african football to really ruin up the state of womens football on the african continent. What have you seen . Why i think that started with a capital Wins Champions League coming on board. I think that was a huge shift. Was a huge change. You can see the shifting the club now. Everyone wanting to win that league to go out and take things out with regards to westcan. It was an amazing westcan was organized. I mean, if you look at the, the stadium that was packed out for the final morocco organize the really fantastic tournament. I also looked at, you know, all the new club, new countries that have come on board. And none of them went any way. You know, the schools were, were not that big. So everybody has gone and done the work. A lot of investment has been done by morocco and they wouldnt, they would that, that theyre not in the final by chance. You know, they put in a locked in basement. You look at the, they use teams also going to the, to the walk up the main seems going to the woke up and that, thats when you put in the investments you look, molly was not they equal total guinea was not they, and you had, you had for debbie dont and you know way where they out of place in the competition either. So really putting it while its come on board, improve. We even have a female the pre going to the means. Well cup and i think she was fantastic in the final as well. The organization is been talking about the development of the game in africa for womens football. This is barbara talking fees as ambient, whether its barbara talking to years ago and then to need. Im going to come off the back of you and, and just wondering if things have got even better since barbara said this, he, she is part of the african players, women now playing and blood. Everyone wants to hide and play proficient way. Think now its no people coming to know that, okay. And then the other level. So i think its, after i says, we mean to me though us of whatever we want to confidence fair. But all the players ready to go on to a bigger stage that goes outside of the african content. If youre truly honest, janine what else is needed . What is needed is improving our speech in africa. I mean, my daughter had wandered 9 times up until the last few years. Been my job as primarily at this point in time is one of the oldest women lead Football League in the world. So we will come back to jenny because weve just lost her. She just froze in there, so im going to just cut for that question across to asha as to help me pick up here. What else is needed to improve the sport . Not just in one part of the continent, but all over so that weve got a continent wide game for women that is really worth watching and spectacular and brings up the young people as well. Its interesting you asked this question 4 years ago in 2018 in marcus marco. Busy i was very honored to be sort of Walking Group that was at the cashed Women Football symposium, the very fast of its kind and in this worship that had all you know, administrators and everyone was very passionate about womens football from the african continent came together to put up a strategy and this strategy, one of the 1st things that a deed was to have a womens foot Board Department at the concentration of africa football in egypt. And in this department you have people work up every day to think about womens football. That means creating programs for fema referees creating programs for you know, female coaches and then working together with the regional association. Then when i say regional and for example, south africa is in the region which is in the southern part of, of africa. And youre talking about, you know, east africa, which is sick alpha, one for which is west african and region is a and beach. And then you have, you know, which is north africa and unified, which is central africa. So when you have consistently tournament, you know, for on the 17 and the 20 goes and you have a yellow competition for the Senior National teams, these, you know, brings together players and they continue to get these exposure that then can be transformed into the National Team. At the end of the day, and that has played a huge role in getting, you know, teams to understand what it means to compete at the highest level we can talk about course, offered to be very specific, west africa and banana banana. Our end in this region. Its not by mistake. The 2 teams from cor safa medi to the semifinals. Yes or africa and via and also one who are playing for the very 1st time got to the quarter finals. You know, so this kind of set up helps everyone holistically and specifically focus suffer who have insisted for the past couple of years that for you to come to the course after turn. I mean, you have to have a female head coach and that sort of brings perspective to the whole development. You know, program. Ive got some new to questions here. I see you nodding, so im just going to pick up with some of the questions from our audience. Says divider says that todays topic is really essential, especially after watching the u. A for Womens League attendance wasnt impressive until the finals football fans in africa have to patronize the womens games. Deseret. Thoughts on that . Look, it was only morocco that had peptide stadiums for the rest of the competition. It wasnt really peck taught. And i think if we talking about supporting, we also need to support in this 10. You know, people are passionate, but they need to support in the sand because its not just on the field where the game needs to grow in the field where the game needs to grow as well. But i think also this westcan, i think theyll be more friends in the stadium. One other thing that i wanted to add as well is if we need to improve on the african continent. I think kathy needs to make sure that all inmates structured leaks, and then the next step after that, used to professionalize the sport because we can only compete with the rest of the world if we are doing similar things to the rest of the world. And at the moment, most of the leagues in africa is played on an amateur basis. We play as work and train off to work with teams, maybe practice twice. I got back into the conversation jenny, ive called you chief question, which i know that you will be out. The answer here, a case says improve the officiating. I stopped watching. Well, that is a shame. But if the officiating so bright on some games that the women have to play on the african continent that people would start watching jenny, people always need to have reasons and improve the quality of football than that doing like fantastic formations im calling to see that does re, im like do, and then theres one more complete and you are never going to win. When you come to fun, im wondering what is a valid consent. That should not be the reason why. Tens of thousands of young girls in africa will not get your chief showcase exactly what they have an investment thats putting to them because of a handful of people. And thats what companies to improve. What it does need to improve is not make the big get stage of womens football or women support on the continent, the learning cause for mistakes to be done. If that has been cool when funds like im the comment on youtube and many more what, there is a step and that can be improved for sure. Let me just share this. If you can be, this is, these are your, your, your 40 mates here. I love this video, okay, this is a celebration video of you and your teammates here and the dance is on fire. I am wondering though, when you are in the locker rooms and youre talking about certain issues, this pe parity come up and me. Because when yall a banana has im better than the the font, the font, which is the males Football Team. You for glory, back to south africa, extraordinary football players. But you dont get paid the same amount. I thought the 1st question actually between this interview or the discussion, what oh, should woman do in order to get your commission and guinea shit. And they do this crowned c minutes ago. And the woman who bought in the euro hasnt even reached what the national to present here. She said, because we have been needed, learns who back, but still doesnt present what the National Team you know, play and what we did know what then with, with my nana picking up going back. So theres one questionnaire. Is that what morse woman to the woman for bullets have to do in order to be taken seriously . And this goes out to federations, to sponsor, to even family good and all in other countries, girls are not allowed to play football. Girls are not allowed to sit in sport. What else are we supposed to do . Why are we being put in this box or what we can do and what we can do . Its amazing can be there in 2022. There still sexism involved in womens sport and particularly in football. How do you combat that . How do you tackle that . It is a really difficult question, but i think from where im standing, we just need to perform. We just need to be in a self and eventually, you know, the world can not no, as long time we look at the Champions League or the european may choose where the best belongs to the field. Not even men could fill up just again. So someone has to, you know, take charge and, and be able to say no, we, its time we need to support women from bullets. Its time we need to bring a lot of opportunities for when for us and is the same in africa. We saw everywhere the outcome is being held stadiums been, you did mention that in morocco, so make sure that were doing people watching but only when the home team was playing. So how do they make programs way . Either teams can go to Different Countries to support because its not only, you know, finances that have to stop. I mean, king can not, they are the sponsors in the countries building. I an area a way that people can be able to put in and fun so that when its time for big tournaments you have support the team tools they have support. Then we dont have to rely on the local, you know, friends to go support. You shall guess, i feel that theres at the moment with a cast, the confederation of african football that theres a carrot in a stick approach. Ok. So the current approach is the for qualifiers from the womens african combinations. They get to go to the well cup, boom, theyre there. And then the stick approach is if you dont have a female Football Team, you can enter their competitions as a male Football Team that is intense and bold. And we bring in another idea for how there can be more coaches, more women in the game of football on the african continent. And this is from a coach cord easy. And she coaches a s k golly, here she is in february of this year. When, when of jobs are my able to foresee, what motivated me to become a coach was the governments policy of encouraging women to take an interest in sports, especially soccer. The women who were high up in the government were leading by example on the field. And we were following, so i became a coach to younger reality. I will buy your, well, theres rain as it is, almost like a 2 point approach to how you get the game of football for women on the african continent up to a certain standard. How to keep it growing. Have you seen that idea of the government helping funding the womens game . Is that helpful . Think that, you know, you need to put yourselves on the by the biggest thing is being given the opportunity. I remember ill go ahead a female coach. Im not going to mail coach uganda at a female coach. You know, so its been giving that opportunity and trusting them. And that is what software does. Well they implement that the, that the female coach might not the head coach must be a female. Even if you have a mo coach assisting and in that way, the coaches getting expedient, but its being given that opportunity that track. And i think not many ways of doing that. And i think its important because when you look on the continent, the quality female coaches, but theyre not being given an opportunity. An alteration took a bold step to, you know, give opportunities to, to all our National Teams. Are you . 17 is coach by a former captain. Some people do, do you 20 coach by a former player job a little boy, and we sort of interact all the time. But as being given that opportunity. But i think when i look at the narrative is changing, theres a competition in cape town called the coca cola cup. And before youve got the under 18 boys, youve got senior women and senior men and the senior womans prize money was less than the you. 18 boys, but all of a sudden the prize money has jumped and its not the same price money as the team. So we dont realize the magnitude of our victory. All things have change and all things are going to change. I also you the, you, you, you nice are in university of south africa. Its now given birth to all 23 plays that qualified. You know, that one though the westcan. So slowly but surely things are changing, but i agree with team b. I dont know what more weve been there to do, what more we have to do to get the sponsors coming on board. And maybe somebody works and sponsorship will regularly goes out and mix with sponsorship for winning sport can tell us what is missing. Today. Let me put this, i all right, go 1st and then jenny and you go 2nd, make it, make it brief, lady. All right, go ahead. Okay, ill go 1st. So for me, i never really get to understand the issue about the difference in pay because heres the thing. If a player and the coach and then entire team is representing a country, the son of son is the government because youre wearing, in this case, for example, youre wearing the South African flag, youre wearing the flag. So why is it that the women, im not getting the same amount as the men . I think your question and dont just ask that question. You could on 3 because every, sorry its a return. Chris and next, next question. All right, there you go. Jeanine. You knew the answer to that didnt go ahead. No, i was going to tell pen be that women dont need to do anything on the work. Do not interested anything. Youre not the one that the 5 you the meet the millions of dollars every other week for Board Development before the women as couple of every country that can women couple of nation do not marketing within the country for people who will fly from the country to the stadium to feel the fact that the people will leave the moral cool that needs to improve, doesnt job the expertise and the countries needs to do bad. So dont do anything. Women sit down as queen do nothing. Some interesting thoughts hear from you. Chip guy is not impressed with women soccer guy. What century are you living in . And then weve got look, lets see. Sponsors need to come to the party and support the ladies a manual manual untasted. Yes, womens football is rapidly gaining momentum in africa. This is how you appreciative the African Women and the african continent as a ho costas, whoever loves soccer knows very well. What African Women with that sport can do. It can be profitable as well. They should have done it already. Theres a thought here time be about what you want for the Younger Generation coming up. If you had to leave them with one piece of advice or inspiration, what would you tell them heavy my advice to the young ones will be to fresh look opportunities. If you dont have, would you go to school because womens football is growing . And if you where youre the school always be there. And i think its one thing that in africa as a whole. Yeah, we can read, you know, well goes hand in hand with school. So you wont be able to be a person that goes well, you wont be able to develop that. Okay, thank you. 10, b and deseret and usher and geneva talk about womens football on the african continent. Im gonna leave you with 2 journalists who are very encouraged about where the sport is right now. I sam and julie. I said, well, its play and its taken out for 3 months. First and a fixer player who makes an exception in game with the national, cham morgan. I ching about her talents and her liver to play the surf to play in europe. I found the woman african curb shouldnt be a good living to make us very broad. Or old continents, we me for both does change perceptions as tears of that are being here for so long, you know, about what women can do, African Women can do, and what african girls going to do on what they can do. And so, well when people does best is show us it. Or when we can do almost anything they wont put your mind to itll the show has been produced by maya god, she is the senior producer of the stream. I dont normally tell you who produces the stream because it is a Team Effort Like womens football. It takes a whole team, but theres always an m v p and that most valuable player is senior producer, my agog whos last show is to day. Thank you, my a garth, your spectacular. We wish you every success for where you go to next. Good luck. No place. And so i gone with say, the press retreated of the car about a media hub and vital Vantage Point during the 1st truly televised war from the roof, we could see evacuation at the American Embassy where the most Iconic Images of the conflict and vietnam were transmitted. To the world, this was the front row sheet to the final stages of the war, saigon, caravel war hotels, on all 0. Holding the powerful to account. As we examined the u. S.
