We focus on a different region and this time we are looking at africa count sadie. I am on a lead his soluble side, some more success after winning the africa cup of nations. Well take a look at how the changes in scene is helping to unify the country as it struggles with an economic and political crisis. And well go back to south africa 12 years on from the continence 1st, and only world come the god along the way. Weve got football, right . So asia come again, just stunning by for is in morocco where shes reporting on the womens africa cup of nations. And ma hm. Is all hes withers and algerian football. Journalistic covers all aspects of the african. Ah, before we take a closer look at the african scenes, lets show you whats been happening in the host nation. Some of the head coaches from the qualified seems, have been in capsule. Take a closer look at whats in store for them for present johnny in francine. I said this so called workshop was a transfer Team Representatives to raise any concerns they had about the Events Organization and to check out the stadiums, hotels and training facilities. What you build for as an International Things being the world cup is the, is the greatest tournament. So we had like a lot of teams the challenging month to do, but we needed to have a lot of different players. And i think crap players especially having up to the front of the years before that a very on the season. So we have to learn from that. And weve got now 2 matches we germinated to be to have before we come here. Obviously weve qualified later than the majority of the team, so its still quite exciting for us, the relaxation that were, were going to take part in the world cup. So im looking forward to it and just being out in an experience and seeing that in the classroom level, towers and seeing the standards and facilities that weve got. And were going to be coming into is really exciting, has been 3 years now that weve been coming from seeing that base comes as in the stadiums to see and all the hall work. Those behind the preparation for the wall. Busy cope and now you can feel at the latest pages, were all really excited now. We got the 52 teams, something that we found out just a few weeks ago. And you can start feeling excitement around that and on the preparations are going extremely well just for them to go in so that they take off the 32 qualified things have been divided into 8 groups of for the cold. And he was capable of going home without charles the 5 saw your master killed the coming to castle, including cynical in one machine is africa cup of nations. And they all the highest rank fees on the continent. One correspondence nicholas ac is indicated to tell us how cynically spends a feeling coming into the phone with apparently all i have to do to starts report is throw a replica. 1978 will cut bull roughly in that direction. Welcome to santa golf country between the Atlantic Ocean and the edge of this, a hal, this very little rainfall and its terribly hot. So its when the sun said that people come out to play football on the beach and its in places like this. That champions are made meet 13 year old jamal soap and his friends in downtown to car. Theres no space for a football pitch. So this is how they train. Its become a trend shared on social media in senegal. Young players showing their skills away from the pitch. Trying to stand out and get attention. Woolfolk, this are the money. My dream is to become sergio money out of my dream is to become a famous football player. And where does jersey of the National Team like money look at my score, a lot of goals for the national to logan and local de one other. One of the top scores in the English Premier League during his time with liverpool buyer linux, new signing his senegal hero. This is where money learn to play in the village of bumbling in southern senegal. In june, he came back to play an exhibition match with former players of the National Team. We st. J was part of the squad that beat france reaching the quarter final of the 2002 world cutler. You said i wanted to put more rasa. The fact that we dont have green football pitches is actually an advantage. Because when you play in the sand, you learn a lot of technique, like how to control the ball to dribble and make accurate causes. It makes us better players, senegal are the reigning african champions. The fans are hoping cutter is a place where senegal make history and become the 1st african team to reach a World Cup Final on nicholas hawk. Al jazeera de carr. Ok, lets take a closer look at senate goals group faced the netherlands in their 1st match, the dutch returning after missing out on the last 4 cup in russia. That also play house capsule and ecuador spring in issue. Common geisha is ship. Do you think this could be the year that an african st gets beyond the quarter finals and could cynical be the thing to do it . Absolutely. Theres no better team that is informed right now, more than synagogue and the african continent, the african champion diversity. So when you look at what they have right now, you see a team that is very well oiled. Its a young squire and also, you know, the fact that you have, and you say hes been with the team for more than 7 years. He understands the particular group set of players for the wrong, the lions, and you have said, your money, said your money, you have can need to really badly in defense. You have at what mindy. You have gamma gay, and obviously you have, you know, these other set of players that are around to support in every department. So i think that they have a chance and also looking at the group that theyre in, alongside of course, the hoss gotta you have ecuador and the netherlands. It just, you know, seems like everything is coming in place for them. I think they have what it takes to go past the quarter finals and actually even claim a place to send the final and who knows from there they could go to the final my what you make of the great sunny goal of god being drawn against the hosts a bit of a benefit, isnt it . They bang them on their top seed . Yeah, exactly. I think the more the netherlands will be favorites make in to the stages with all due respect to the secretary ecuador, i think i was right to speak about the fact that this is a young team, but theyre also experience. Remember they were in the 2018 world cup with the same coach, l, u, c. C. And she was actually very heavily criticized going into the previous africa cup of nations which santa go one. He was criticized for not being the most tactical manager, but i would say that one of his main strengths is hes a really good man. Manager said that he knows his group and thats true. And if you look at the success of verse and managers like carla went last years and didnt do that, sometimes i think we tend to overrate the technical aspect of managing. And its actually about, can you get the team to really give it their all 110 percent . And when it comes to that, i think she is a perfect course for the triangle lines. And i think that thats probably their best chance of making it to the next room. Ok, thanks to now guys with back with you very soon now. Well, mohammed salus, egypt fell to qualify along with algeria to north african sides. Did. Well see how fans in morocco are failing, surely. But 1st lets take a look at she nicea supporters there say the tournament will provide them with the distraction from the ongoing political and economic crisis pulled under worst reports. Junior 0 is the country with deep political divisions, but theres one thing that still unites people clearly from a but her big football brings people together and they sympathize with each other. When a game is on, its all they think about it. They forget about politics and the things that are happening in the country and they forget about the problem. And that was good. But were all support denisia, all of us. We forget about the faction supporting the president and others supporting a mother in politics, in general wiki football at apollo. Looks moment at the store. Last, ronald, a president chi side dissolved parliament and sect the government to rule by decree last year and moved. The opposition has called a qu, critics of labelled a new draft constitution as an attempt by said to expand his powers unlawfully. Tennesseans have been left frustrated by years of political argument and economic stagnation has her new toner, hey that it started in the world cup is the only thing thats left for us and to nicea, its the way out. And the thing that brings everyone together, regardless of the differences we see in politics or economic problems in qatar 2022 will be chinas his 6th appearance at a world comp. Theyve never made it out of the group stage and of one just 2 games at the tournament. Fans and sureness hope the countrys large expect community in doha will give the eagles of carthage an advantage this time round as give yearly cabinet sooner. She hopefully are tennessee and community there will encourage the t v, especially during the 1st matches we received kicked out of the donors. Hopefully we can get out of the group status ya. Weve had enough of leaving early will achieving that wont be easy with group games against defending champions. France as well as denmark and australia. Paul van worth al, jazeera, the morocco maybe through to the 6 worked up. But some friends were you, the team will under perform on many blame coach, hed hello, which was divided on whether he should still be in charge. Come november more in the mid them and since firing him would cost a lot of money. Weve got no other choice but to give him a chance. I have more than i think its problematic for this coach to participate in the cut. I will cup its peter if he leaves. The bosnian has been criticized for having a bad relationship with some top players. Chelsea midfielder, i keep a ya, she has refused to play for the National Team while hollows, which is in charge this by that fans are hopeful morocco and feel their best side in doha was, i know i ended up with the group and yes, it will not be easy for them to advance, but i really hope that based on the coach and their talents, they will give their country and honorable result in cotton. If morocco do ops for a new coach, itll be the 3rd time value holiday, which has been fired just month before the beginning of a workshop. It happened in 2010 when he was with ivory coast and again in 2018 with japan. Supporters wanted American Football Federation to make a final decision once and for all the or not. If they replace them, i hope they find a moroccan coach and we have People Better than him in whatever the decision, the large American Community in guitar will no doubt to make the team feel like they are playing at home. Everyone 90 josie robot. Now trinity has been drawn in great day alongside the defending champions, france as well as australia and denmark. While morocco they faced speech in 2018 honest croatia in the opening game of group f. Then they come up against belgium, followed by canada. You making just the 2nd world cup appearance. Now those teams can expect some strong support. Hearing cats, i was a big north african ex patrick community. Johnny is now in the studio and had been hatch kelly for the spokesman for the chinese and community here in cattle. Thanks for being with us and give us an idea of the level of support search in as you can expect to. This woke up, well actually we, we had the test in the arab curve here. We have see, and how, how to me is in france, where actually there were amazing supporting the teams specially in difficult moments. I remember we against all man, for example, we, we, they scored the equalizer and, and like then 2nd after the whole stadium was shaken, not by oman is by 2 by 2 nations. I like supporting the team and, and pushing them to react to minutes after whiskered the 2nd goal. So thats what we are expecting. Like a crazy end to adjust the supporting of the team. Its not a home world cup, but you think in some ways the players will it will feel for them like it is a homework plan here. Of course i actually during the arab cap again we, we face that we have seen how the people are like more than 40000 in the stadiums and, and here we have more than 45 thousands living in guitars. We have the support of arab nations. Of course, like a category is algerians. Egyptians, many of them will, will come not only to see the games but the, the, to see the ought to was yes. Hm. And this reaction that to me is, is, are creating in the stadium and around it. The countrys also going through some pretty tough times at the moment, politically and economically is, is the National Football team. Something that everyone can, can unify around. Of course, as we said, like difficult moments grades like grades, mans and all and, and we always faces this issues. But whenever it comes to sports attorneys ends are as force crazy im had been hatch kelly for. Thank you so much for your time now. But one of tat sauls, 8 stadia have been built specifically for this world cup which begins on november the 21st and even use not only spread across a small geographic area. There are also architectural feats. With a nod to sustainability natasha gang ripples. The stadiums of the 1st world cup in the middle east are architectural mirrors of era culture and heritage. A tent used by bedouins, an ivory cap warned by pious muslim boys and men, a gold colored handicraft. Weve invested a lot during the dishonesty is broiled to the car selection to make sure that were to voters being built for the, for, for the tournament is being cubed for the legacy and the local earnings and even the local league needs welcome to sale stadium. Home to the final match and the closing ceremony up to 86000 fans will enjoy unobstructed views of the field. The roof contains one and a half times the amount of steel. As the eiffel tower and sons of a, an experience. I purely, from a sporting point of view, itll be unprecedented and really spectacular. I context emphasize otherwise enough. Stadium 974 is the 1st venue in fif a history that will disappear. The 974. 00 recycled shipping containers will be dismantled to give way to additional Waterfront Development after the world cup. The beauty of the stadium is the, it will have many more opening games in Different Countries and different cultures and in different locations. But also because i think the 1st stage in the world, which, which has this overpowering sustainability statement to it. In addition to stadium 974 seats, and components of other venues will be donated to developing countries in need of sport infrastructure. With a non profit group, Carbon Market watch says to offset emissions. The material would need to be used multiple times, especially if shipped thousands of kilometers away by using recycled materials, reducing construction costs, and developing green and Living Spaces near stadiums. Cutter is hoping it created monuments to sustainability that will inspire future world cup hosts. Natasha game al jazeera, doha, lets go for a little trip back in time. Now its been more than a decade since south africa hosted the 1st world country played on the african continent. A legacy of investments in groceries. Football was promised. A correspondent for me to mila, has been finding out if that was actually delivered. This is the waco south. Of johannesburg, which during the 2010 woke up was a hub for many People Living in the area for aspiring players. The woke up brought home the reality of a global events that was unreachable for many, many years later, a Young Players like these a school practicing in poor facilities. After the world cups of africa received about 40000000. 00 from fever for the development of the game locally. But players and clubs like this one say they havent benefited that or renewed at the fund that was given to our mother body shop. Was supposed to be helping us. This area was supposed to have been developed. Most of the areas that we havent had a sent from you guys if, if they something that youd want proof of it, because we dont see anything had been about the legal test that was given by the South African f. A close to legacy trust this year. After the money ran out, it says some of the money was used to fund junior National Teams, womens soccer, and to both facilities. Even then their allocations at some of the costs were inflated. Young players remain motivated despite the challenges they face woke up with significant me because it gave us hope like at a time where like, we were hyped up about saw. Everyone is talking about it like the sailors were allowed across the street. So we were very, we were looking forward to the woke up and when it happened at the time, it gave us hope and inspiration to play as well. Looking at the fate of where we come from, our rooms get crashed along the way. Like there are a lot of that goes by then its well in them and tell you to a one. So you are not. So yeah, it is as she, despite their emission to play at professional level or for the National Team, their coach says thats almost impossible simply because of a lack of support and trying to work with players that Development Level in conditions like this makes it very challenging for any of these players to advance issue the legacy of any big tournament is quite a difficult thing to pin down. But what have any meaning was left behind by the world cup in south africa and 2010 . Do you think if thats africa . Football association said that they invested some of the money in developing womens football. Then theyve done a great job on that front. But looking at, you know, the grassroots across the whole country, talking to a couple of people, he doesnt seem so away from me. Of course the Women Football and i understand you know, why they are aggrieved and ceiling that they were left out on that front. And i think that they should have done more. They can still do more. I mean its, jenny is after it trophy has actually seen the 2010 woke up and you get the feeling that, you know, even the rest of the continent away from, you know, the sellers and the celebrations. And for example, at the cpu, a shallow goals, you know, that literally sent the whole continent vibrating. You dont feel that there was that deep legacy that you know, we can remember and say in terms of continuity with that tunneling margie think theres a desire to bring the will cut back to, to our for touring with solomon are expanding to 48. Same and 2026. Is it . Is it likely . I think its going to be much more difficult now. Expanded format of the world cup to have 48. 00 teams in the single country. We see even at the american bit of 2026 spread out across 3 countries. I think thats going to be a little bit of an obstacle for morocco. Because ideally, if you want to have an only african woke up, you could do morocco your, its nysha there, you could have the sporting infrastructure, its a similar culture. And i think that could work, but the politics of it dont really work out. So were hearing that rumors that there might be a moroccan slash iberian bid with portugal in spain. So if the walk up does return, its probably going to be there. Well, lets just go back to whats actually coming our way in catherine a few months time. Cameroon, are in group g along with brazil, serbia, and switzerland is shit comer. And of course, the 1st african seems to reach the quarter finals at a world cup. You can get out of that group. Its a very difficult group for the indomitable lie. And then youre talking about a team that no longer has like a super stuff face with the camera. And we used to having big names, you know, roger miller and we go about song somewhere at toe. Patrick bama, you know, like a step layer who can, you know, make a big change in the game and shift the momentum. But of course, you know, with all due respect to vince or a booby car, the captain who was incredible during the africa cup of nations, he will definitely feel the weight of playing at the walk up. But perhaps, you know, having the atmosphere that they have around the tournament having you know, read about song as the head coach at the Federation President , you know, people who know as single to about playing at the world cup will different. Definitely invoke that lie and spirit that we know coming to have over the years. And i think perhaps that could be the edge that they will bring into this woke up in 2017. No one expected them to win the cup of nations in government. And they went all the way to the final and stand to everyone and one, you know, the african crown. So i think theyll come into the woke up with that kind of mindset. Of course, you know, youre playing against brazil who are one of the type contenders in katara. But who knows the nice thing too about making up the work. They certainly do. Lets take a look at, go on as group, back with their old friends, uruguay. Angry page going to still hurting after that luis flores humble back in 2010. Not stop reaching the semi finals a little so face christina and alice, portugal side and south korea mar is up. So game against here. Well, i still remembered through the african continent. Yeah. I think its collectively scarred all of us africans. Youre at this close to getting to a semi final. Its a different generation of players as well. That 2010 team was kevin principal, a tang estimate, john crucial penalty. You know, its a completely new generation, of course, theyre a younger team, but theyre a team. Now, all these generational players, players like 100, i x come out into the my not run. I, your brothers were there and theyll remember it. But the rest of the younger, the Younger Generation will have watch that much on television, and i think it will be in the corner of their minds. Theyll be one in revenge. But its not exactly a team that was affected or scarred by the elimination. Theyll just remember it, and i think the extra motivated is gonna bring in a hungry coach and, and also atto. And that seems a bit of a trend, but it seems that qualified for out of the 5 seems to have african coaches. Its not been a positive development in the last few years. Well, im do you ask a very good question because we know that in the history of the world, katherine, im talking 96. He has absolutely no foreign courts has won the woke up. So if an african team wants to win the walk up there have to go with the home, go coach and obviously brings a whole different feel or to i do understand the culture of ghana you talk about and you say for me, i feel that sometimes you need that touch, you know, in the dressing room when things, you know, go south, youre not, you know, speaking english or french in the dressing room. Youre speaking in the case of gun speaking tree or infinity. Youre speaking while of to the players, you know, even on the top line so that they can, you know, get that feeling and of pride when theyre presenting their country. And i feel that those things, you know, make a huge difference at big tournaments like the work up. Okay, fantastic. So thank you so much for guests congregation and mohammed zone. Hey, cynical will have the honor of playing in the very 1st match of this will cut money and i will take on the netherlands. That house out them on the stadium. On november the 21st kick off at 1 pm local time. Hopefully, not gang senegal can set the time for the rest of africas competing nations. Next month well be switching consummate to folks on the european themes. Theyll be heading to cattle as we get closer to the main events. And of course, aldis era will keep you right up to date every step of the way. Ah ah, bold and am told stories from asia and the pacific on al jazeera ah ah sake that mm hm. And then International Anti corruption Excellence Award boat. Now for your hero, ah, im the parker and doha, the stop story on al jazeera, so like his parliament is elected ronald vick grimacing as the new president. He was serving as in trim leader after protests over
