ചൈനയില്‍ നടന്നുവെന്നുള്ളതായിരുന്നു 2008-ലെ ബീംജിംഗ്‌ ഒളിമ്പിക്‌സിന്റെ രാഷ്‌്‌ട്രീയവും നയതന്ത്രവുമായ പ്രാധാന്യം. ബീജിംഗിലേയ്‌ക്ക്‌ ഒളിമ്പിക്‌ ടീമിനെ അയയ്‌ക്കുന്നതില്‍ അമേരിക്കയ്‌ക്കും മറ്റുമുണ്ടായിരുന്ന ആശങ്കകളെ അസ്ഥാനത്താക്കിക്കൊണ്ട്‌ ചൈന വിജയകരമായി ഒളിമ്പിക്‌സ്‌ പൂര്‍ത്തിയാക്കുകയും അമേരിക്കന്‍ കുത്തക തകര്‍ത്തുകൊണ്ട്‌ മെഡല്‍ പട്ടികയില്‍ ഒന്നാം സ്ഥാനത്തെത്തുകയും ചെയ്‌തു. ഇതിലും വലിയ രാഷ്ട്രീയ പ്രാധാന്യത്തിലാണ്‌ 2010-ലെ ലോകകപ്പ്‌ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ നടക്കുന്നത്‌. കാരണം ഇത്തവണ ലോകകപ്പിന്‌ ആതിഥേയത്വം വഹിക്കുന്നത്‌ ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയാണ്‌ എന്നതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ. ലോകകപ്പിന്റെ സംഘാനത്തില്‍ ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയുടെ കാര്യശേഷിയെക്കുറിച്ച്‌ വിദേശികള്‍ക്കുള്ള പേടിയെല്ലാം അതിജീവിച്ച്‌ മികവുറ്റരീതിയിലാണ്‌ അവര്‍ ലോകത്തിലെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ കായികമാമാങ്കത്തിന്‌ ആതഥേയത്വം വഹിക്കുന്നത്‌. ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയെ സംബന്ധിച്ചടത്തോളം രാജ്യത്തിന്റെ സാമ്പത്തിക വളര്‍ച്ച അളക്കപ്പെടുകയും ഉയര്‍ത്തപ്പെടുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു എന്നതു മാത്രമല്ല ഈ ലോകകപ്പിലൂടെയുള്ള നേട്ടം. മറിച്ച്‌ പതിറ്റാണ്ടുകള്‍ നീണ്ട വിദേശാധിപത്യത്തിന്റെയും വര്‍ണവെറിയുടെയും ഇരുണ്ടലോകത്തില്‍നിന്നും പുതിയൊരു രാഷ്ട്രീയാസ്ഥിത്വത്തിന്റെയും സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യബോധത്തിന്റെയും ആഹ്ലാദവേദികൂടിയാണ്‌ അവര്‍ക്ക്‌ ഈ ആതിഥേയ പദവി.
ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയ്‌ക്കും മറ്റു ആഫ്രക്കന്‍ രാജ്യങ്ങള്‍ക്കും ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ വെറുമൊരു കായികവിനോദം എന്നതിലപ്പറം തങ്ങളുടെ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യബോധത്തിന്റെയും രാഷ്ട്രനിര്‍മിതിയുടെയും ഏറ്റവും പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ആയുധമായിരുന്നു. ദേശീയതാബോധവും ദേശനിര്‍മിതിയും രാഷ്ട്രിയ, സാംസ്‌കാരിക, ഭാഷാ തലങ്ങളില്‍ മാത്രമല്ല നടക്കുന്നതതെന്നും ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ പോലുള്ള കായികവിനോദങ്ങളിലൂടെ ഏറ്റവും സരളമായും അതേസമയം സുദൃഢമായും രൂപപ്പെടുത്തുന്നുവെന്ന്‌ ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്ക, സാന്‍സിബാര്‍ ദ്വീപ്‌, ഈജിപ്‌റ്റ്‌ എന്നീ ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ രാജ്യങ്ങളുടെ കായിക(രാഷ്ട്രീയ) ചരിത്രം രേഖപ്പെടുത്തുന്നു. ഇന്ത്യക്കുപോലും ഇത്തരം ഒരു ചരിത്രം പറയാനുണ്ട്‌ എന്നുള്ളത്‌ വളരെ ശ്രദ്ധേയമാണ്‌. ആക്രമണങ്ങളെ പ്രതിരോധിക്കുകയും പ്രതിരോധത്തെ ആക്രമിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുകയെന്നുള്ളതാണ്‌ ഫുട്‌ബോളിന്റെ രാഷ്ട്രീയം. ആക്രമിച്ചുകീഴ്‌പ്പെടുത്താന്‍ എത്തുന്ന ഒരു സംഘത്തെ തന്ത്രപരമായി പ്രതിരോധിച്ച്‌ ഗോള്‍വല കാക്കുകയും അതേസമയം സംഘടിതമായി ആക്രമിച്ച്‌ എതിര്‍ പ്രതിരോധത്തിന്റെ മുനയൊടിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്ന ഓരോ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ മത്സരവും ഈ രാജ്യങ്ങളില്‍ രാഷ്ട്രീയാധിനിവേശത്തിന്റെയും അതിനോടുള്ള ചെറുത്തനില്‍പ്പിന്റെയും ഒരു അന്യാപദേശമാകുന്ന ചരിത്രമാണ്‌ ഈ രാജ്യങ്ങളിലെല്ലാം ഉള്ളത്‌.
സാന്‍സിബാര്‍: കളിയും സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യവും
ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ എങ്ങനെ ഒരു രാഷ്ട്രത്തെ നിര്‍മിച്ചു എന്നതാണ്‌ ആഫ്രിക്കയിലെ സാന്‍സിബാര്‍ ദ്വീപിന്റെ രാഷ്ട്രീയ/ കായിക ചരിത്രം വെളിവാക്കുന്നത്‌. അച്ചടക്കത്തിന്റെയും കായികാധ്വാനത്തിന്റെയും പാഠങ്ങള്‍ ശീലിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനുവേണ്ടിയാണ്‌ ബ്രിട്ടീഷുകാരും മറ്റു യുറോപ്യന്‍ ശക്തികളും കോളനിരാജ്യങ്ങളില്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ പ്രചരിപ്പിച്ചത്‌. അതുവഴി കോളനിജനതയില്‍ ഒരു രാഷ്ട്രീയ നിയന്ത്രണം കൊണ്ടുവരികയെന്നതും അവരുടെ ലക്ഷ്യമായിരുന്നു. പ്രാരംഭഘട്ടത്തില്‍ ഭരണകൂടം ഇതില്‍ വിജയം കണ്ടെങ്കിലും കാലക്രമേണ ഈ നിയന്ത്രണം അവരില്‍ നിന്നും കൈവിട്ടുപോയി. വിവിധകാരണങ്ങളാല്‍ ഭിന്നിച്ചുനിന്ന ജനതയെ ഒരുമിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിനും ദേശീയത എന്ന വികാരം വളര്‍ത്തുന്നതിനും രാഷ്ട്രിയ പ്രക്ഷോഭങ്ങള്‍ക്കു തുടക്കമിടുന്നതിനും ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ പ്രേരണയായി. വംശീയമായും ഗോത്രപരമായും ശിഥിലമായ ഒരു ജനസമൂഹം വെള്ളക്കാരനെതിരേ സംഘടിക്കുന്നതിന്റെ ആവശ്യകത തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞത്‌ കളിക്കളത്തില്‍ നിന്നും പ്രചോദനമുള്‍ക്കൊണ്ടുകൊണ്ടാണ്‌. ആഫ്രിക്കയിലും ലാറ്റിനമേരിക്കയിലുമായി വിപുലീകരിക്കപ്പെട്ട യുറോപ്യന്‍ സാമ്രാജ്യത്തില്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോളായിരുന്നു തദേശിയര്‍ക്കിടയില്‍ ഏറ്റവും സ്വീകാര്യവും ജനപ്രിയവുമായ കായിക വിനോദം. കാരണം ഫുട്‌ബോളിന്റെ കേളീ ശൈലി അധികാരത്താലും ആക്രമണത്താലും അടിച്ചമര്‍ത്തപ്പെട്ട കോളനി ജനതയുടെ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യ മോഹത്തിന്റെയും തിരിച്ചടിക്കാനും പ്രതിരോധിക്കാനുമുള്ള ത്വരയുടെയും പ്രകടിതരൂപമായിരുന്നു. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ സാന്‍സിബാറില്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ തദേശിയമായി സംഘടി്‌ക്കപ്പെട്ടു. പ്രാദേശിക മത്സരങ്ങളും ടൂര്‍ണമെന്റുകളും ക്ലബുകളും രൂപം കൊണ്ടു. ബ്രിട്ടീഷ്‌കാര്‍ പ്രചരിപ്പിച്ച കേളീശൈലിയും കളിഭരണവും അപ്രസക്തമായി. ഫുട്‌ബോളിന്‌ തനതായ ഒരു ശൈലിയും ചാരുതയും അവര്‍ രൂപപ്പെടുത്തിയെടുത്തു. ഫുട്‌ബോളിലൂടെ ജനകീയ കൂട്ടായ്‌മകള്‍ ഉണ്ടായി. തദ്ദേശിയര്‍ക്കിടയില്‍ ന്‌ിലനിന്നിരുന്ന വംശീയമായ സംഘര്‍ഷങ്ങള്‍ അപ്രത്യക്ഷമായി. കളിക്കളത്തിലും കാണികള്‍ക്കിടയിലും കറുത്തവന്‍/ വെളുത്തവന്‍, വിദേശി/ സ്വദേശി എന്ന വേര്‍തിരിവ്‌ പ്രകടമായി. തൊലികറുത്തതിന്റെ പേരിലുള്ള ആക്ഷേപങ്ങള്‍ക്ക്‌ അവര്‍ കളിക്കളത്തില്‍ ചുട്ട മറുപടി നല്‍കി. ചിട്ടയാര്‍ന്ന പരിശീലനത്തിനിന്റെ മേല്‍ക്കേയ്‌മയില്‍ മൈതാനത്തിറങ്ങുന്ന വിദേശ ടീമിനെ സ്വന്തമായി രൂപപ്പെടുത്തിയ കേളി ശൈലിയിലൂടെയും കായികമായ കരുത്തിലൂടെയും തദേശ ടീം മറികടന്നു. വെള്ളക്കാരന്റെ കരുത്തുറ്റ പ്രതിരോധത്തെ മറികടന്നു ഗോള്‍വല കുലുക്കുമ്പോള്‍ ദ്വീപുനിവസികള്‍ ഒരൊറ്റ ജനതയായി ആര്‍പ്പുവിളിച്ചു. എതിര്‍ ആക്രമണങ്ങളെ തങ്ങളുടെ ടീം തന്ത്രപരമായി പ്രതിരോധിക്കുമ്പോള്‍ വൈദേശികാക്രമണത്തെ തടയുന്ന ഒരു രാജ്യത്തിന്റെ കൂട്ടായ ശ്രമം പോലെ അവര്‍ ഏറ്റെടുത്തു. പന്തുമായുള്ള ഓരോ കുതിപ്പിലും വിലക്കപ്പെട്ട സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യം അണപൊട്ടിയൊഴുകി. കളിക്കളത്തില്‍ വെള്ളക്കാര്‍ ചൊരിയുന്ന വംശീയാ അധിക്ഷേപങ്ങള്‍ക്കും ശാരീരികാക്രമണങ്ങളും കണ്ടില്ലെന്നു നടിച്ച റെഫറിമാരെ അവര്‍ ചോദ്യം ചെയ്‌തു. പക്ഷപാതികളായ റെഫറിമാരെ അവര്‍ ബഹിഷ്‌കരിച്ചു. അനീതി ചോദ്യം ചെയ്യാനും അക്രമണങ്ങളെ ചെറുക്കാനുമുള്ള പാഠങ്ങള്‍ അവര്‍ കളിക്കളത്തില്‍ നിന്നും ശീലിച്ചു. കാണികള്‍ കൂടി ഇത്‌ ഏറ്റെടുത്തതോടെ നീതിരഹിതമായ രാഷ്ട്രീയ അധിനിവേശത്തെയും വംശീയ അധീശത്വത്തെയും എതിര്‍ക്കാനും സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യമെന്ന പരമമമായ ലക്ഷ്യെത്തിലേക്കെത്തിച്ചേരാനുമുള്ള ബോധം ഓരോ ദ്വീപ്‌ നിവാസിയുടെയും മനസില്‍ നിറഞ്ഞു. ഓരോ ഫുടബോള്‍ മത്സരവും ചെറുയുദ്ധങ്ങളായി അവര്‍ക്കനുഭവപ്പെട്ടു. ഓരോ കളിയും സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യ പോരാട്ടങ്ങളായി മാറി.
ലോറാ ഫെയര്‍ തന്റെ ലേഖനത്തില്‍ ഇക്കാര്യം വ്യക്തമായി പറയുന്നുണ്ട്‌.
"The matches which were fought between key contenders for political power seemed to provide temporary relief from growing ethnic tensions and a more immediate resolution of the long-term struggle for national independenc-e."1
വിഘടിച്ചു നിന്ന ഒരു ജനത ഒരു ശരീരവും മനസുമായി ഫുട്‌ബോളിനോട്‌ താദാത്മ്യം പ്രാപിച്ചു. ലക്ഷ്യബോധത്തോടെയും ഏകാഗ്രതയോടെയും അവര്‍ കളിക്കുകയും കളികാണുകയും ചെയ്‌തു. വിഭജിച്ചു ഭരിക്കുക എന്ന അധിനിവേശ തന്ത്രത്തെ അവര്‍ കളിക്കളത്തിലെ കൂട്ടായ്‌മകളിലൂടെ അതിജീവിച്ചു. ഗോള്‍ നേടുമ്പോഴും എതിരാളികളുടെ ഗോളുകള്‍ തടയുമ്പോഴും ഉയരുന്ന ഹര്‍ഷാരവവും ആഹ്ലാദ തിമിര്‍പ്പും ഒരു ജനത എന്ന നിലയില്‍, ഒരു രാഷിട്രം എന്ന നിലയില്‍ അവര്‍ ഉയിരെടുക്കുന്നതിന്റെ കാഹളമായിരുന്നു.
പ്രാദേശീകമായ കലാരൂപങ്ങള്‍ നിരവധിയുണ്ടായിരുന്ന സാന്‍സിബാറില്‍ വംശീയ ചേരിതിരിവിനാല്‍ പാട്ടുകാര്‍ക്കും നര്‍ത്തകര്‍ക്കും തങ്ങളുടെ കഴിവുകള്‍ പ്രകടിപ്പിക്കാന്‍ ഒരു പൊതുവേദി അസാധ്യമായിരുന്നു. എന്നാല്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ മത്സരങ്ങള്‍ നിരന്തരവും സജീവുമായതോടെ പാട്ടിനും ഡാന്‍സിനും ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ഗാലറികള്‍ അവതരണവേദിയായി. വിവിധഗോത്രങ്ങള്‍ തങ്ങള്‍ക്ക്‌ അസ്‌പൃശ്യരായിരുന്ന ആളുകളുടെ കലാമികവുകള്‍ പരസ്‌പരം അംഗീകരിച്ചു തുടങ്ങി. ഗാലറികളില്‍ ഈ കലാകാരന്മാര്‍ ഉയര്‍ത്തുന്ന തുടിപ്പുകവിള്‍ കളിക്കാര്‍ക്ക്‌ ആവേശമായി. പാട്ടിലും ഡാന്‍സിലും ദേശസ്‌നേഹവും ദേശീയ വികാരവും ജ്വലിച്ചു നിന്നു. ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ എന്ന കളി ഉണര്‍ത്തുന്ന ആവേശത്തില്‍ ഒരു ദേശം എങ്ങനെ രൂപപ്പെടുന്നുവെന്നും ആ ദേശത്തിലെ സാമൂഹിക ഘടനയില്‍ നിനലനിന്നിരുന്ന സംഘര്‍ഷങ്ങള്‍ എങ്ങനെ ഇല്ലാതാകുന്നുവെന്നും അധീശ്വത്വത്തിനെതിരായ പോരാട്ടത്തില്‍ ദേശീയ ഐക്യം എത്ര അവശ്യമാണെന്നും സാന്‍സിബാര്‍ ദ്വീപിന്റെ കായിക/ രാഷ്ട്രീയ ചരിത്രം സൂചിപ്പിക്കുന്നു.
ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ദേശീയതയും ഫുട്‌ബോളും
ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ദേശീയ ബോധത്തിലും വ്യവഹാരങ്ങളിലും ആരംഭഘട്ടത്തില്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ഒരു നിറഞ്ഞ സാനിധ്യമായിരുന്നു. ആഫ്രിക്കയിലും ലാറ്റിനമേരിക്കയിലുമെന്ന പോലെ ദേശീയത നിര്‍മിതിയില്‍ ഫുടബോള്‍ ഇന്ത്യയിലും ഒരു പ്രധാന ആയുധമായിരുന്നു. ജാതിവ്യവസ്ഥയും ചാതുര്‍വര്‍ണ്യവും നിലനിന്നിരുന്ന ഇന്ത്യയില്‍ അധിനിവേശവിരുദ്ധ പോരാട്ടങ്ങളില്‍ ഫുടബോള്‍ സാമൂഹിക ഉച്ഛനീചത്വങ്ങള്‍ മറകടന്നു ജനങ്ങളെ ഒത്തൊരുമിപ്പിക്കുന്നതിന്‌ കാരണമായി. ദേശീയ പ്രസ്ഥാനങ്ങള്‍, നിലനിന്നിരുന്ന സാമൂഹിക അസമത്വങ്ങള്‍ക്കുനേരെ പുറം തിരിഞ്ഞു നിന്നപ്പോള്‍ ജനതയെ ദേശബോധത്തിലേക്കു ഉയര്‍ത്തുക എന്ന പ്രക്രിയ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ പോലുള്ള കായിക വിനോദങ്ങളിലൂടെയാണ്‌ മുന്നോട്ട്‌ പോയത്‌. ജാതീയവും മതപരവുമായ വേര്‍തിരിവുകള്‍ ഇല്ലാതെ സംഘടിപ്പിക്കപ്പെട്ട ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ മത്സരങ്ങളും ക്ലബുകളും ജനങ്ങളില്‍ ഐക്യ ബോധം രൂപപ്പെടുത്തി. ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോളിന്റെ പിതാവ്‌ എന്നറിയപ്പെടുന്ന നാഗേന്ദ്ര പ്രസാദ്‌ സര്‍ബാധികാരിയെ പോലുള്ളവര്‍ രാജ്യം മുഴുവന്‍ നെഞ്ചിലേറ്റിയ ഒരു കായിക വിഗ്രഹമായിമാറിയതും ഫുട്‌ബോളിന്റെ ജനകീയ സ്വഭാവം ഒന്നു കൊണ്ടുമാത്രമാണ്‌. 1911-ല്‍ നടന്ന IFA ഷീല്‍ഡ്‌ മത്സരത്തിനായുള്ള പോരാട്ടത്തില്‍ മോഹന്‍ ബഗാന്‍ യുറോപ്യന്‍ ടീമിനെ മറികടന്ന്‌ വിജയിച്ചപ്പോള്‍ അധിനിവേശ വിരുദ്ധ പോരാട്ടത്തില്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ഒരു പ്രതിരോധ രൂപവും മാര്‍ഗവുമായി മാറുകയായിരുന്നു. കളിക്കളത്തില്‍ പോലും അധിനിവേശശക്തികളെ പ്രതീകാത്മകമായി ചെറുക്കാന്‍ ഇന്ത്യന്‍ കളിക്കാര്‍ ശ്രമിച്ചു. കൊളോണിയല്‍ ഭരണകൂടവുമായി നിസഹകരിക്കുന്നതിന്റെ ജനകീയവും തദേശീയവുമായ മാര്‍ഗങ്ങളായിരുന്നു മൈതാനത്ത്‌ ഇന്ത്യക്കാര്‍ പരീക്ഷിച്ചത്‌. ബ്രിട്ടീഷ്‌/ യുറോപ്യന്‍ ടീമുകള്‍ക്കെതിരേ ബൂട്ടണിയാതെ നഗ്നപാദരായി കളിച്ചതും ഇത്തരത്തിലുള്ള നിസസഹകകരണ രീതിയായിരുന്നു. ബോറിയ മംജുദാര്‍ തന്റെ പുസ്‌തകത്തില്‍ ഈ മാര്‍ഗത്തെ കൃത്യമായി രേഖപ്പെടുത്തുന്നുണ്ട്‌. "The virtual universality of masculine sport in colonial India went hand in hand with its cultural indigenization. Playing barefoot was not only a way to make football distinctly Indian, but it helped unite those who played."2. കളിക്കളത്തില്‍ പ്രയോഗിക്കപ്പെട്ട ഇത്തരം ചെറുത്തുനില്‍പ്പും പ്രതിരോധമാര്‍ഗങ്ങളും പാശ്ചാത്യവത്‌കരണത്തിനെതിരേയും അധീശവ്യവഹാരങ്ങള്‍ക്കെതിരേയും ദേശീയ തലത്തില്‍ തന്നെ ജനകീയ കൂട്ടായ്‌മകള്‍ രൂപീകരിക്കുന്നതിനും അവരില്‍ ദേശീയ, സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യബോധം വളര്‍ത്തുന്നതിനും കാരണമായി. രാഷ്ട്രീയ സ്വാതന്ത്ര്യമെന്ന അന്തിമമായ ലക്ഷ്യം സംഘടിതമായ ശ്രമത്തിലൂടെയേ സാധ്യമാകൂ എന്ന ചിന്ത സാധാരണക്കാര്‍ക്കിടയില്‍ വേരുറയ്‌ക്കുന്നതിനും ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ മൈതാനത്തെ ഇത്തരം പ്രതിഷേധപ്രകടനങ്ങളിലൂടെ അവര്‍ തിരിച്ചറിഞ്ഞു. എന്നാല്‍ ദേശീയ മുഖ്യധാരയിലേയ്‌ക്ക്‌ സാധാരണ ജനങ്ങളുടെ ഇത്തരം കൂട്ടായ്‌മകള്‍ വളര്‍ന്നില്ല. ബ്രിട്ടീഷ്‌കാരുടെ വിഭജിച്ചു ഭരിക്കുക എന്ന തന്ത്രത്തെ മറികടക്കുന്നതിനു പകരം അതിനു വളംവെച്ചുകൊടുക്കുന്ന പ്രവര്‍ത്തനങ്ങളാണ്‌ നേതക്കന്മാര്‍ക്കിടയില്‍ നടന്നത്‌. തത്‌ഫലമായി ജാതീയവും മതപരവുമായ ചേരിതിരിവുകള്‍ വളരെ ശക്തമായി. അതിനെ അതിജീവിക്കാന്‍ ദേശീയ പ്രസ്ഥാനത്തിനും നേതാക്കന്മാര്‍ക്കും കഴിഞ്ഞില്ല. അതിന്റെ തിക്തഫലങ്ങള്‍ ഇന്ത്യ ഇന്നും അനുഭവിക്കുകയാണ്‌.
കേരളത്തിലും ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ഒരു ജനകീയ ഗയിമായി വളര്‍ന്നത്‌ അധിനിവേശവിരുദ്ധ പോരാട്ടത്തന്റെ ഭാഗമായിട്ടായിരുന്നു. കേരളത്തിന്റെ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ആസ്ഥാമായ മലപ്പുറത്താണ്‌ ഇതിന്‌ തുടക്കമിട്ടത്‌ മലപ്പുറത്തെ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ചരിത്രത്തെക്കുറിച്ചു ഡോക്യുമെന്ററി ചെയ്‌ത മധു ജനാര്‍ദന്‍ തന്റെ അനുഭവങ്ങളില്‍ ഇക്കാര്യം വിശദമായിത്തന്നെ വിവരിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്‌.
"ബ്രിട്ടീഷ്‌ വിരുദ്ധ കലാപങ്ങള്‍ അടിച്ചമര്‍ത്താന്‍ 1825-ല്‍ മലപ്പുറം ആസ്ഥാനമായി രൂപവത്‌കരിച്ച മലപ്പുറം സ്‌പെഷല്‍ പോലീസാണ്‌ ആദ്യമായി ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ പ്രചരിപ്പിച്ചത്‌. 1921-ലെ കലാപത്തെ തുടര്‍ന്ന്‌ നാട്ടുകാര്‍ വെള്ളക്കാരില്‍ നിന്നകന്നിരുന്നു. അവരെ ഭയപ്പാടോടുകൂടി കണ്ടിരുന്ന ജനതയെ തങ്ങളുമായി അടുപ്പിക്കുന്നതിന്‌ ഇത്‌ ഉപകരിക്കും എന്ന തന്ത്രമാണ്‌ ഈ ' കളി' കള്‍ക്കു പിന്നിലുണ്ടായിരുന്ന യുക്തി. ആദ്യ നാളുകളില്‍ ഗ്രൗണ്ടിനു പുറത്തുനിന്നു കളി കാണുകയും പിന്നീട്‌ കളി പഠിക്കുകയും പിന്നീട്‌ വെള്ളക്കാരുമായി മത്സരത്തിനൊരുങ്ങുകയുമായിരുന്നു മലപ്പുറംകാര്‍. ബൂട്ടിട്ട ബ്രിട്ടീഷ്‌ കാരോട്‌ നഗ്നപാദരായി കളിച്ചതിന്റെ ഓര്‍മ്മയ്‌ക്കായി ഇന്നും സെവന്‍സ്‌ നഗ്നപാദമത്സരങ്ങള്‍ മലപ്പുറത്ത്‌ സംഘടിപ്പിക്കാറുണ്ട്‌."3 ഇതു തന്നെ കേരളത്തിലും ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ബ്രിട്ടീഷ്‌കാര്‍ക്കെതിരേയുള്ള ജനകീയ പ്രതിരോധ മാര്‍ഗമായി മാറിയിരുന്നു എന്നതിന്റെ തെളിവാണ്‌.
പില്‍ക്കാലത്ത്‌ ക്രിക്കറ്റ്‌ ഫുട്‌ബോളിന്റെ സ്ഥാനം കയ്യടുക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. ക്രിക്കറ്റിനും ഇത്തരത്തില്‍ ജനങ്ങളെ സ്വാധീനിക്കാന്‍ കഴിയുമെങ്കിലും ഇന്ത്യയില്‍ വിരുദ്ധമായ ഒരു അവസ്ഥയാണ്‌ സൃഷ്ടിക്കപ്പെട്ടത്‌. അധിനിവേശ വിരുദ്ധ ദേശീയതയല്ല ക്രിക്കറ്റിലൂടെ ഇന്ത്യയില്‍ പരിപോഷിക്കപ്പെട്ടത്‌. മറിച്ച്‌ ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ബഹുസ്വരതയെ നിരാകരിക്കുന്ന സങ്കുചിതമായ ഒരു ദേശീയബോധത്തെയാണ്‌ അത്‌ ഏറ്റെടുത്തത്‌. സംഘ്‌പരിവാറും മുഖ്യധാരാ മാധ്യമങ്ങളും തങ്ങളുടെ സങ്കുചിതമായ ദേശിയതയെ ഒരു വികാരമായി ആളിക്കത്തിക്കാന്‍ ക്രിക്കറ്റിനെ ഉപയോഗിക്കുകയും ചെയ്‌തു. അതിന്റെ ഫലമായി ഓരോ ഇന്ത്യ- പാക്കിസ്ഥാാന്‍ ക്രിക്കറ്റ്‌ മത്സരങ്ങളും ഇവിടെ യുദ്ധങ്ങളായി ആഘോഷിക്കപ്പെട്ടു. കര്‍സേവകരും, ശിവസൈനികരും മാടുകളെപ്പോലെ ക്രിക്കറ്റ്‌ പിച്ചുകള്‍ കയ്യേറി. രാഷ്ട്രീയ കാരണങ്ങളാല്‍ ഇരു രാജ്യങ്ങള്‍ തമ്മിലുള്ള കളിപോലും ഇല്ലാതായി. ക്രിക്കറ്റ്‌ മതവും കളിക്കാര്‍ ദൈവങ്ങളുമാകുന്ന ഇന്ത്യയില്‍ അത്‌ ദേശീയതയുടെയോ ജനകീയകൂട്ടായ്‌മയുടെയോ ഭാഗമായി മാറിയില്ല. പകരം രാഷ്ട്രീയക്കാരും ദല്ലാളന്മാരും ചേര്‍ന്ന്‌ കമ്പോളത്തിന്റെ താത്‌പര്യമനുസരിച്ച്‌ അതിന്റെ രൂപവും ഭാവവും മാറ്റിക്കൊണ്ടിരിക്കുന്നു.
ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയില്‍ സംഭവിച്ചത്‌

ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയില്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ എല്ലാക്കാലത്തും അവിടുത്തെ രാഷ്ട്രീയ, സാമൂഹികാവസ്ഥകളുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നു.കളിയും കളിഭരണവും വംശീയ ചേരിതിരിവുകള്‍ മൂലം പ്രശ്‌നസംങ്കീര്‍ണമായിരുന്നു. ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയിലെ വെള്ളക്കാരുടെ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ അസോസിയേഷന്‍ ഓഫ്‌ സൗത്ത്‌ ആഫ്രിക്ക(FSA) രൂപീകരിച്ചത്‌ 1892ലാണ്‌. ഇതേത്തുടര്‍ന്ന്‌ പല ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ സംഘടനകളുടേയും രൂപീകരിക്കപ്പെട്ടു. സൗത്ത്‌ ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ ഇന്ത്യന്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ അസോസിയേഷന്‍(1903), സൗത്ത്‌ ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ ബന്‍ഡു ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ അസോസിയേഷന്‍(1933), സൗത്ത്‌ ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ കളേര്‍ഡ്‌ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ അസോസിയേഷന്‍(1936) എന്നിവ രൂപീകൃതമായി. 1930 മുതല്‍ 1962 വരെ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ ലോകകപ്പില്‍ ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്ക പങ്കെടുത്തിരുന്നില്ല. 1966 മുതല്‍ 1992 വരെ ഫിഫ ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയെ നിരോധിച്ചിരുന്നു.
അപ്പാര്‍ത്തീഡ്‌ നിയമമാക്കുന്ന 1948നു മുമ്പുതന്നെ ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയിലെ കായികമേഖലകളില്‍ വംശീയമായ വേര്‍തിരിവും ഒറ്റപ്പെടുത്തലുകളുമു ായിരുന്നു. പിന്നീട്‌ ഇത്‌ നിയമപരമായെന്നു മാത്രം. വെള്ളുത്തവര്‍ഗക്കാരും കറുത്ത വര്‍ഗക്കാരും ഒരുമിച്ച്‌ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ എന്നല്ല ഒരു കായിക ഇനത്തിലും മത്സരിച്ചിരുന്നില്ല. ഇതുപോലെത്തന്നെ അവര്‍ പരസ്‌പരവും ഏറ്റുമുട്ടിയിരുന്നുമില്ല. കറുത്തവര്‍ഗക്കാര്‍ വെളുത്തവര്‍ഗക്കാരുടെ ടീമുകളുമായി ഏറ്റുമുട്ടുന്നത്‌ നിരോധിച്ചിരുന്നു. മറ്റുരാജ്യങ്ങളില്‍നിന്നുള്ള സന്ദര്‍ശക ടീമുകള്‍ക്കും ഈ നിയമം ബാധമായിരുന്നു.കോളനിഭരണത്തില്‍നിന്ന്‌ മോചിതരായ രാഷ്ട്രങ്ങള്‍ അന്താരാഷ്ട്ര ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ സംഘടനയിലേക്ക്‌ വന്നിരുന്ന 1950കളില്‍ ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്ക ഒറ്റപ്പെട്ടുനിന്നു. ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ രാജ്യങ്ങളുടെ സംഘടനയായ കോണ്‍ഫെഡറേഷന്‍ ഓഫ്‌ ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ ഫുട്‌ബോളില്‍ ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയ്‌ക്ക്‌ അംഗത്വം ലഭിച്ചിരുന്നില്ല. അപ്പാര്‍ത്തീട്‌ അതിന്റെ ഏറ്റവും വിഷലിപ്‌തമായ മുഖം പ്രദര്‍ശിപ്പിച്ചിരുന്ന അമ്പതുകളുടെ അവസാനത്തിലും അറുപതുകളുടെ തുടക്കത്തിലും ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയിലെ വെളളക്കാരുടെ ഫുട്‌ബോള്‍ സംഘടനയ്‌ക്കോ വംശീയതയ്‌ക്കെതിരേയുള്ളവരുടെ സംഘടനയക്കോ അംഗീകാരം നല്‍കേണ്ടത്‌ എന്നതിനെക്കുറിച്ച്‌ ഫിഫയ്‌ക്കുള്ളില്‍ത്തന്നെ ചേരിതിരിവു ണ്ടായിരുന്നു. വെള്ളക്കാരുടെ നിയന്ത്രണത്തിലുള്ള ഫുഡ്‌ബോള്‍ അസോസിയേഷന്‍ ഓഫ്‌ സൗത്ത്‌ ആഫ്രിക്ക(FASA)യും വംശീയതയ്‌ക്കെതിരേയുള്ളവരുടെ നേതൃത്വത്തിലുള്ള സൗത്ത്‌ ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ സോക്കര്‍ ഫെഡറേഷന്‍(SASF) എന്നീ ര ണ്ടു സംഘടനകളാണ്‌ ഫിഫയുടെ അംഗീകാരത്തിനായി മത്സരിച്ചിരുന്നത്‌. 1957ലെ ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ കപ്പ്‌ ഓഫ്‌ നേഷന്‍സില്‍ കറുത്തവര്‍ഗക്കാരടങ്ങിയ ടീമിനെ അയയ്‌ക്കാത്തതിനെത്തുടര്‍ന്ന്‌ എഫ്‌എഎസ്‌എയെ സിഎഎഫില്‍ ഉള്‍പ്പെടുത്തിയില്ല.
ദക്ഷിണാഫ്രിക്കയുടെ പ്രതിനിധിയായി എഫ്‌എഎസ്‌എയ്‌ക്കു പകരും ഫിഫയില്‍ സ്ഥാനം നേടാന്‍ എസ്‌എഎസ്‌എഫ്‌ അമ്പതുകളുടെ അവസാനത്തോടെ ശ്രമിമാരംഭിച്ചു. 1961ല്‍ എഫ്‌എഎസ്‌എയെ ഫിഫ സസ്‌പെന്‍ഡ്‌ ചെയ്‌തു. പക്ഷേ, വംശീജയവിവേജനം കാണിക്കുന്നില്ലെന്ന്‌ തെളിയിക്കാന്‍ ഒരുവര്‍ഷത്തെ സമയം ഫിഫ അവര്‍ക്ക്‌ അനുവദിച്ചിരുന്നു. അതോടൊപ്പംതന്നെ എഫ്‌എഎസ്‌എയ്‌ക്കു വീണ്ടും അംഗത്വം നല്‍കുന്നതിനെക്കുറിച്ച്‌ അന്വേഷിക്കാന്‍ ഒരു കമ്മീഷനേയും ഫിഫ നിയമിച്ചു. പിന്നീട്‌ ഫിഫയുടെ പ്രസിഡന്റായ സ്റ്റാന്‍ലി റൗസിന്റെ അധ്യക്ഷതയിലുള്ള അന്വേഷണ കമ്മീഷന്റെ നിര്‍ദേശത്തെത്തുടര്‍ന്ന്‌ എഫ്‌എഎസ്‌എ വീണ്ടും ഫിഫയില്‍ സ്ഥാനം കണ്ടെത്തി. എന്നാല്‍, വംശീയവിവേചനത്തെ പ്രോത്സാഹിക്കുന്നതാണ്‌ ഫിഫയുടെ ഈ നടപടിയെന്നതായിരുന്നു ആഫ്രിക്കന്‍ രാജ്യങ്ങളുടെ നിലപാട്‌. ഇതേത്തുടര്‍ന്ന്‌ 1964ല്‍ ഫിഫിയില്‍നിന്ന്‌ എഫ്‌എഎസ്‌എയെ സസ്‌പെന്‍ഡ്‌ ചെയ്‌തു.

The Road to Africa: South Africa’s Hosting of the “African” World Cup

April 29, 2
Since first being introduced into South Africa and until the end of apartheid, football was affected by the politics of the country, and in particular, its system of racial subjugation. The all-white Football Association of South Africa (FASA) was formed in 1892, while the South African Indian Football Association, the South African Bantu Football Association and the South African Coloured Football Association were founded in 1903, 1933 and 1936 respectively. South Africa did not take part in the World Cup from 1930 to 1962, and from 1966 to 1992 the country was banned from Fifa.
This paper reflects upon South Africa’s role and participation in international football and Fifa World Cups from a historical and inevitably apartheid-based perspective. It also considers South Africa’s hosting of large sporting events leading up to the bidding process for 2010 and how such events were instrumental to the statecraft exercises of the state and corporate elites in a new democratic South Africa.
South Africa’s exclusion from international football
Although there had always been an informal policy of segregation within South African sport, the formal realisation of apartheid in 1948 further entrenched divisions on the playing field through legislation. Sporting activities had to comply with the broader policies of so-called “separate development” and there was to be no interracial mixing in sport. Non-white teams were barred from competing against white teams. Visiting teams were also expected to respect South Africa’s laws and customs. These developments were out of step with what was happening in most postcolonial football-playing countries – a tide of independent football associations swept through Fifa from the 1950s onwards, as affiliate countries started to come into their own as both independent political entities and as football-playing nations. Given the surge of nationalism and self-determination, particularly among the increasingly influential African bloc, South Africa’s membership to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) became increasingly untenable.
During the height of apartheid in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Fifa was divided on whether to grant membership to the white-controlled FASA or to the non-racial South African Soccer Federation (SASF), which was an umbrella body representing the interests of non-racial football. FASA had already been excluded from CAF after it refused to send a mixed team to compete in the first African Cup of Nations in 1957. In the late 1950s, the SASF began lobbying Fifa to allow it to replace FASA as South Africa’s representative in the world body. The SASF succeeded in getting FASA suspended in 1961, but the all-white association was given one year to prove itself as a non-racial body. An investigative commission was established to assess the possible reinstatement of FASA. On the recommendation of the then Fifa president, Stanley Rous, FASA was readmitted into Fifa. Yet the general sentiment, particularly from the African bloc, was that Fifa had acted in a way that endorsed the apartheid policies and CAF was determined to push the issue further. At the Fifa congress in 1964, acrimonious exchanges led to FASA’s suspension from the world body.
Although by the 1970s South Africa’s race policies had led to its isolation in the football world, domestically the 1970s saw the apartheid regime’s forceful imposition of subjugation on the field of play. A black National Professional Soccer League emerged with the backing of the government and South African Breweries. Corporate sponsorship of black football increased after state television was launched in 1976, as companies looked to exploit the game and gain access to the black consumer base. The watershed 1976 Soweto uprising set in motion a series of events that ultimately led to a gradual deracialisation of professional football. School and amateur football, which comprised more than 95% of players, remained strictly segregated until the 1980s. In the latter half of the 1980s the African National Congress (ANC) and the National Party started laying the foundations for a negotiated settlement, with anti-apartheid activists lobbying for a non-racial football body to be established (Alegi, 2004). Many changes were in store for the early 1990s.
South Africa re-enters international football
With movements towards unity already afoot in the early 1990s, a non-racial football association was established. The divisions within the administration of football finally came to an end when the four different associations, representing black, white, Indian and coloured players, were merged into the South African Football Association (SAFA). Consequently, Fifa granted South Africa membership status in 1992 at its congress in Zurich. Football was mooted as being a forerunner in signalling the “new” South Africa, given its popular black support, and South Africa’s re-entry into international football prefaced the wider political negotiations. South Africa beat Cameroon 1–0 in its first game after re-entry and the initial success of Bafana Bafana – translated literally as “boys boys” – partly transcended the fractious history of the sport in the country.
Carried by the wave of democratisation and spectacular early feats in different sporting codes, the early-to-mid-1990s heralded a golden era for South African sport and for football in particular. The football team’s achievements, often attributed to “Mandelamania”, included being champions of the African Cup of Nations. According to Fifa’s world rankings, South Africa was ranked as high as sixteenth in the world during the mid-1990s.
Despite various problems with the formation of a non-racial football body, the foundations were being laid for South African football to undergo steady change on a national level consistent with the broader societal changes. The chief custodians overseeing the transformation of football were the Department of Sport and Recreation, SAFA and the South African Sports Commission2. Unlike the other major sporting codes in South Africa, football had an abundance of black talent. Yet rapid progress needed to be made in terms of the upgrading of existing and building of new football facilities and infrastructure. Importantly, under-21 leagues and supporting structures needed to be established in order to ensure a continuous stream of good players through the ranks.
Despite the many contradictions that emerged in the new South Africa, sport’s role in helping to strengthen a still fragile national identity was undeniable. South Africa had successfully negotiated the tricky transition period and averted a civil war. Football’s role in helping to strengthen and mould this malleable national identity was clearly evident. However, after the honeymoon period of democratisation, some of the initial good work came undone. Not unlike most other sporting codes in South Africa, football was plagued by a number of issues both on and off the field. Among them were issues related to the overall competence of SAFA, South African players’ commitments to overseas clubs above the national team, and issues around sponsorship and ownership.
By late 2008, South Africa had dropped to eighty-fifth place in the world rankings and did not even qualify for the 2006 Fifa World Cup. Part of the problem was that when South Africa re-entered world football, the game was a very different entity to what it had been before isolation. Having been ostracised from World Cups and the African Cup of Nations tournaments – and also not having been allowed to play friendly matches with Fifa members – South Africa, black and white, had maintained tenuous links with the organisational, technical and economic changes that had revolutionised world football in the 1970s and 1980s (Alegi, 2004).
Crucial political developments took place within the governance of the game, developments which would later play directly South Africa’s favour as host nation. Rather fortuitously for South Africa, the political changes occurring within world football in the latter half of the twentieth century happened to coincide with the political changes taking place in South Africa. A gradual democratisation took place within the governance structures of world football in the latter half of the twentieth century and South Africa re-entered international football in the 1990s, just in time to capitalise on the steadily mounting pressure for an African-hosted World Cup.
Although South Africa struggled to convince its African counterparts of its suitability to represent the continent after years of white rule under apartheid, the country sought to project itself as a significantly reformed, modern, industrialised African state, ideally situated to further the cosmopolitan ideals and development of world football. Eager to shake off its former pariah image and consistent with various initiatives adopted by state and corporate elites in the early 1990s, South Africa was quick to read the mood in world football circles and did not waste any time trying to seize the initiative. Because of its largely peaceful transition and relative success in overcoming a history of racial discrimination, South Africa was also steadily being viewed as an ideal candidate to further the increasingly developmental focus of world football, particularly on the African continent. For a complex set of political and economic reasons, and arguably also through sheer luck and timing, South Africa managed to wrest the ascendancy from other, more established African contenders that, in purely footballing terms, were more deserving of host status.
Despite what was happening in football and parallel to this, sport – in particular major sporting events – took on increased importance for the post-apartheid South African government. Having outlined the nature of the role played by South Africa in international football, the next section looks more closely at the recent history of post-apartheid South African state and corporate elites’ drive to host sports mega-events, leading up to the decision to enter the bidding process for 2010.
South Africa enters the bidding process
During the early phases of democracy, sporting events were central to the statecraft exercises of state and corporate elites. Thus winning the rights to host the 2010 Fifa World Cup was a direct consequence of concerted and sustained efforts by state and corporate elites to attract sports mega-events for predominantly two reasons. Firstly, bid protagonists usually stressed the crucial economic and developmental corollaries such events would bring, fusing conventional political discourse with a developmental philosophy. Secondly, and related, is the promotion of a particular notion of Africa and the idea of an African revival consistent with the rhetoric propagated through more conventional political initiatives like the African Renaissance (Cornelissen & Swart, 2006). Therefore, it was not long before the South African government sought host status for the 2006 and later 2010 Fifa World Cups, having already successfully hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup, the 1996 African Cup of Nations, the 1999 All African Games and the 2003 Cricket World Cup.
The 1995 Rugby World Cup proved cathartic for South Africa at a time when the nation was galvanised through the “one team, one nation” slogan. The slogan, which extended into the identity building of the “Rainbow Nation”, became a cornerstone of Mandela’s presidency. However, closer inspection suggests that the lustre of the event was quick to dissipate, largely in light of ongoing transformation squabbles as a result of rugby’s pervasive image as a white, Afrikaans sport (Black & Nauright, 1998; Booth, 1996; Grundlingh, 1998; Steenveld & Strelitz 1998).
After successfully hosting the Rugby World Cup, South African political and corporate elites strategically seized the opportunity of hosting various pan-African events, such as the African Cup of Nations and the All African Games, to recreate some of the country’s mega-event glory, for which the Rugby World Cup had set high standards. These events were also supposed to signal South Africa’s emergent African identity, following years of white rule under apartheid. South Africa won and successfully hosted the 1996 African Cup of Nations with the kind of euphoria which had marked the Rugby World Cup. However, setbacks were also to follow: South Africa lost the bid for both the 2004 Olympics and the 2006 Fifa World Cup.
The idea of hosting the 2006 Fifa World Cup was first mooted in the early 1990s. It was envisioned that the event would have three primary objectives. Firstly, it would encourage capital construction and heighten the country’s international visibility for the purposes of attracting tourism. Secondly, it would elicit national pride, and thirdly, it would offer local power brokers in government, sport, media and business an opportunity to renegotiate or consolidate their role in the “new” South Africa. The 2006 bid also relied heavily on an emotive posturing of Africa similar to that used in the 2010 Fifa World Cup bid, by appealing to the socioeconomic marginalisation of Africa. South Africa lost the bid to Germany by one vote (Alegi, 2001). South Africa came under criticism for not doing all in its power to secure enough votes. The presence of then president Mandela at the final voting round would also have helped. However, in hindsight these setbacks were learning curves for the country, and should the event have been awarded at that stage, it could have proved logistically problematic (Cornelissen, 2004a, 2004b; Griffiths, 2000).
South Africa’s decision to co-host the 2003 Cricket World Cup with Zimbabwe and Kenya went one step further in affirming the country’s African identity, while also being consistent with a pattern of foreign policy initiatives by president Mandela’s successor, Thabo Mbeki. The event was tied into President Mbeki’s vision to rejuvenate the African continent socially and economically through the African Renaissance. The overall “African Safari” motif of the tournament, which became the strategic marketing approach of choice, sought to stamp a uniquely “Africanised” version of a game bequeathed on former colonies by British imperialism, and aimed to broaden the cultural base of the game. What made the Cricket World Cup all the more interesting was the implicit attempt to undo a sport which had associated itself with the “civilising” mission of the British Empire. By “Africanising” the Cricket World Cup, South Africa was implicitly trying to reconfigure not only the hegemonic order of international cricket, but also the broader inequalities between the Anglo-Saxon world and Africa (Van der Merwe & Van der Westhuizen, 2007).
Although South Africa’s choice of Zimbabwe as co-host produced unnecessary political tensions – it contradicted the overarching theme of the African Renaissance, exacerbated tensions between the Afro-Asian and Anglo-Saxon contours within the cricket playing Commonwealth, and highlighted the weaknesses of South Africa’s overall foreign policy towards Zimbabwe – on a technical level South Africa was quite successful in dispelling the “myth” that Africa was not suited to hosting such events (Van der Merwe & Van der Westhuizen, 2007). South Africa’s appropriation of the event, coupled with the manner in which the event was punted by the state, corporate elites and the media, revealed the country’s continental and international aspirations. These aspirations were well capped by South Africa’s successful bid for the 2010 Fifa World Cup. The bid was largely motivated as an “African” bid and tied into the “10 years of democracy” celebrations just after the April 2004 general elections. After failing the first time, South Africa rejuvenated its quest to host “the beautiful game” by appealing fervently through the well-publicised slogan, “It’s Africa’s Turn.”
What made this round of bidding truly unique in the history of the World Cup was the rotational system introduced by Fifa, which induced a continent-wide scramble for the rights to host the event. The sentiment was that Fifa had done something for Africa that it had never before done in the history of the World Cup. It had levelled the bidding playing fields. Africa had to compete with Europe and South America only on the field of play – and not against their beautiful cities and strong infrastructure. After Brazil was awarded the 2014 event the rotational system was subsequently revoked in 2007, adding to the exceptional nature of the decision for the African continent.
From the outset, the 2010 event was always going to be hosted by an African nation – just which nation was to articulate this vision remained contested. Although there were moments when South Africa was unsure whether it would secure host status – followed closely as it was by an aspirant Morocco that managed to secure 10 of the final votes, and by an equally buoyant yet shy-on-votes Egypt – for the most part South Africa was self-assured after having successfully hosted a string of sporting events. With South Africa having arguably the strongest sporting, transport, media and hospitality infrastructure and facilities in Africa, partly a legacy of its apartheid past, the country had good reason to be confident.
Despite the structural problems due to apartheid and the almost 30 years out in the political wilderness, South Africa seemed an old favourite and a relatively known quantity, largely because of the stature and moral authority it had accrued within the international community in a relatively short period since readmission. From the viewpoint of Fifa, hosting the World Cup in Africa provided an opportunity to further globalise the sport and had an explicit political edge.
Conclusion
This paper reflected on the role played by South Africa in international Fifa and World Cups, and its increased significance because of its apartheid history. Although the steady inclusion of African states in World Cups is perhaps most clearly demonstrated through the structural changes made to the tournament in the twentieth century, these trends have been strengthened and paralleled by broader cultural, political and socioeconomic forces. An African Fifa World Cup not only forms part of a broader drive towards a more equitable international footballing order, but also towards a more equitable realignment between Africa and the developed world more generally. Hosting the 2010 Fifa World Cup therefore promises to be a crowning achievement of not only South Africa’s re-entry into the international community, but also for Africa’s journey towards a more equitable and just global order.

Since first being introduced into South Africa and until the end of apartheid, football was affected by the politics of the country, and in particular, its system of racial subjugation. The all-white Football Association of South Africa (FASA) was formed in 1892, while the South African Indian Football Association, the South African Bantu Football Association and the South African Coloured Football Association were founded in 1903, 1933 and 1936 respectively. South Africa did not take part in the World Cup from 1930 to 1962, and from 1966 to 1992 the country was banned from Fifa.
This paper reflects upon South Africa’s role and participation in international football and Fifa World Cups from a historical and inevitably apartheid-based perspective. It also considers South Africa’s hosting of large sporting events leading up to the bidding process for 2010 and how such events were instrumental to the statecraft exercises of the state and corporate elites in a new democratic South Africa.
South Africa’s exclusion from international football
Although there had always been an informal policy of segregation within South African sport, the formal realisation of apartheid in 1948 further entrenched divisions on the playing field through legislation. Sporting activities had to comply with the broader policies of so-called “separate development” and there was to be no interracial mixing in sport. Non-white teams were barred from competing against white teams. Visiting teams were also expected to respect South Africa’s laws and customs. These developments were out of step with what was happening in most postcolonial football-playing countries – a tide of independent football associations swept through Fifa from the 1950s onwards, as affiliate countries started to come into their own as both independent political entities and as football-playing nations. Given the surge of nationalism and self-determination, particularly among the increasingly influential African bloc, South Africa’s membership to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) became increasingly untenable.
During the height of apartheid in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Fifa was divided on whether to grant membership to the white-controlled FASA or to the non-racial South African Soccer Federation (SASF), which was an umbrella body representing the interests of non-racial football. FASA had already been excluded from CAF after it refused to send a mixed team to compete in the first African Cup of Nations in 1957. In the late 1950s, the SASF began lobbying Fifa to allow it to replace FASA as South Africa’s representative in the world body. The SASF succeeded in getting FASA suspended in 1961, but the all-white association was given one year to prove itself as a non-racial body. An investigative commission was established to assess the possible reinstatement of FASA. On the recommendation of the then Fifa president, Stanley Rous, FASA was readmitted into Fifa. Yet the general sentiment, particularly from the African bloc, was that Fifa had acted in a way that endorsed the apartheid policies and CAF was determined to push the issue further. At the Fifa congress in 1964, acrimonious exchanges led to FASA’s suspension from the world body.
Although by the 1970s South Africa’s race policies had led to its isolation in the football world, domestically the 1970s saw the apartheid regime’s forceful imposition of subjugation on the field of play. A black National Professional Soccer League emerged with the backing of the government and South African Breweries. Corporate sponsorship of black football increased after state television was launched in 1976, as companies looked to exploit the game and gain access to the black consumer base. The watershed 1976 Soweto uprising set in motion a series of events that ultimately led to a gradual deracialisation of professional football. School and amateur football, which comprised more than 95% of players, remained strictly segregated until the 1980s. In the latter half of the 1980s the African National Congress (ANC) and the National Party started laying the foundations for a negotiated settlement, with anti-apartheid activists lobbying for a non-racial football body to be established (Alegi, 2004). Many changes were in store for the early 1990s.
South Africa re-enters international football
With movements towards unity already afoot in the early 1990s, a non-racial football association was established. The divisions within the administration of football finally came to an end when the four different associations, representing black, white, Indian and coloured players, were merged into the South African Football Association (SAFA). Consequently, Fifa granted South Africa membership status in 1992 at its congress in Zurich. Football was mooted as being a forerunner in signalling the “new” South Africa, given its popular black support, and South Africa’s re-entry into international football prefaced the wider political negotiations. South Africa beat Cameroon 1–0 in its first game after re-entry and the initial success of Bafana Bafana – translated literally as “boys boys” – partly transcended the fractious history of the sport in the country.
Carried by the wave of democratisation and spectacular early feats in different sporting codes, the early-to-mid-1990s heralded a golden era for South African sport and for football in particular. The football team’s achievements, often attributed to “Mandelamania”, included being champions of the African Cup of Nations. According to Fifa’s world rankings, South Africa was ranked as high as sixteenth in the world during the mid-1990s.
Despite various problems with the formation of a non-racial football body, the foundations were being laid for South African football to undergo steady change on a national level consistent with the broader societal changes. The chief custodians overseeing the transformation of football were the Department of Sport and Recreation, SAFA and the South African Sports Commission2. Unlike the other major sporting codes in South Africa, football had an abundance of black talent. Yet rapid progress needed to be made in terms of the upgrading of existing and building of new football facilities and infrastructure. Importantly, under-21 leagues and supporting structures needed to be established in order to ensure a continuous stream of good players through the ranks.
Despite the many contradictions that emerged in the new South Africa, sport’s role in helping to strengthen a still fragile national identity was undeniable. South Africa had successfully negotiated the tricky transition period and averted a civil war. Football’s role in helping to strengthen and mould this malleable national identity was clearly evident. However, after the honeymoon period of democratisation, some of the initial good work came undone. Not unlike most other sporting codes in South Africa, football was plagued by a number of issues both on and off the field. Among them were issues related to the overall competence of SAFA, South African players’ commitments to overseas clubs above the national team, and issues around sponsorship and ownership.
By late 2008, South Africa had dropped to eighty-fifth place in the world rankings and did not even qualify for the 2006 Fifa World Cup. Part of the problem was that when South Africa re-entered world football, the game was a very different entity to what it had been before isolation. Having been ostracised from World Cups and the African Cup of Nations tournaments – and also not having been allowed to play friendly matches with Fifa members – South Africa, black and white, had maintained tenuous links with the organisational, technical and economic changes that had revolutionised world football in the 1970s and 1980s (Alegi, 2004).
Crucial political developments took place within the governance of the game, developments which would later play directly South Africa’s favour as host nation. Rather fortuitously for South Africa, the political changes occurring within world football in the latter half of the twentieth century happened to coincide with the political changes taking place in South Africa. A gradual democratisation took place within the governance structures of world football in the latter half of the twentieth century and South Africa re-entered international football in the 1990s, just in time to capitalise on the steadily mounting pressure for an African-hosted World Cup.
Although South Africa struggled to convince its African counterparts of its suitability to represent the continent after years of white rule under apartheid, the country sought to project itself as a significantly reformed, modern, industrialised African state, ideally situated to further the cosmopolitan ideals and development of world football. Eager to shake off its former pariah image and consistent with various initiatives adopted by state and corporate elites in the early 1990s, South Africa was quick to read the mood in world football circles and did not waste any time trying to seize the initiative. Because of its largely peaceful transition and relative success in overcoming a history of racial discrimination, South Africa was also steadily being viewed as an ideal candidate to further the increasingly developmental focus of world football, particularly on the African continent. For a complex set of political and economic reasons, and arguably also through sheer luck and timing, South Africa managed to wrest the ascendancy from other, more established African contenders that, in purely footballing terms, were more deserving of host status.
Despite what was happening in football and parallel to this, sport – in particular major sporting events – took on increased importance for the post-apartheid South African government. Having outlined the nature of the role played by South Africa in international football, the next section looks more closely at the recent history of post-apartheid South African state and corporate elites’ drive to host sports mega-events, leading up to the decision to enter the bidding process for 2010.
South Africa enters the bidding process
During the early phases of democracy, sporting events were central to the statecraft exercises of state and corporate elites. Thus winning the rights to host the 2010 Fifa World Cup was a direct consequence of concerted and sustained efforts by state and corporate elites to attract sports mega-events for predominantly two reasons. Firstly, bid protagonists usually stressed the crucial economic and developmental corollaries such events would bring, fusing conventional political discourse with a developmental philosophy. Secondly, and related, is the promotion of a particular notion of Africa and the idea of an African revival consistent with the rhetoric propagated through more conventional political initiatives like the African Renaissance (Cornelissen & Swart, 2006). Therefore, it was not long before the South African government sought host status for the 2006 and later 2010 Fifa World Cups, having already successfully hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup, the 1996 African Cup of Nations, the 1999 All African Games and the 2003 Cricket World Cup.
The 1995 Rugby World Cup proved cathartic for South Africa at a time when the nation was galvanised through the “one team, one nation” slogan. The slogan, which extended into the identity building of the “Rainbow Nation”, became a cornerstone of Mandela’s presidency. However, closer inspection suggests that the lustre of the event was quick to dissipate, largely in light of ongoing transformation squabbles as a result of rugby’s pervasive image as a white, Afrikaans sport (Black & Nauright, 1998; Booth, 1996; Grundlingh, 1998; Steenveld & Strelitz 1998).

Conclusion
This paper reflected on the role played by South Africa in international Fifa and World Cups, and its increased significance because of its apartheid history. Although the steady inclusion of African states in World Cups is perhaps most clearly demonstrated through the structural changes made to the tournament in the twentieth century, these trends have been strengthened and paralleled by broader cultural, political and socioeconomic forces. An African Fifa World Cup not only forms part of a broader drive towards a more equitable international footballing order, but also towards a more equitable realignment between Africa and the developed world more generally. Hosting the 2010 Fifa World Cup therefore promises to be a crowning achievement of not only South Africa’s re-entry into the international community, but also for Africa’s journey towards a more equitable and just global order.
In less than one year, South Africa will be the proud host of the 2010 World Cup. To many, this privilege is a mere formality of the Cup. Indeed, hosting the World Cup is an honor, but for South Africa it symbolizes a far more complex idea. A history of apartheid and colonial struggle make South Africa's right to host the Cup a representation of a new period of the country's history. It marks a further departure from the oppressive history that is so often attributed to South Africa.
Yet, the World Cup is no coincidental representation of a more independent nation. For many former British colonies sport has a history of serving the colonized people in resisting British rule. Often it was used by the colonizers to foster a sense of discipline and hard work, but mostly it was meant to help control. However, this control was often flipped on its head and used against the colonizer. Sport in the British Empire served as a unifying force, often imbibing nationalist rhetoric, with matches serving as focused representations of the climate of social and political struggle. Football was the most popular sport in the empire and it often unified the colonized across economic and social classes. Once adopted, football matches would be opportunities for indigenous people to resist.
In Zanzibar the constant bias of foreign referees found native teams boycotting matches. Indian teams in Calcutta resisted by combining football with indigenous culture, playing barefoot, which gave their victories all the more impressive and all the more punishing to the colonizing counterparts. South African football allowed native teams to directly reject British attempts to control matches and leagues. Finally, in post colonial Egypt, football was a way to shed the stereotypes associated with being a colonized nation, giving them credit as a modern nation. These examples show how sport and specifically football in the British Empire served as a vehicle through which colonized people could resist in a number of ways.
Laura Fair's article “Kickin' It: Leisure, Politics and Football in Colonial Zanzibar, 1900s-1950s” highlights the progression of control struggles between Zanzibar footballers and their British colonizers. Fair establishes that the British had difficulty in maintaining control over the neighborhood teams and leagues, and more importantly, difficulty in controlling what football meant to those who participated. “Although the British wrote and administered the rules of play, they exercised very little influence over how teams were organised in the neighbourhoods or the meanings which men attributed to the game within their own lives.”1 She also establishes the role of dance in providing a foundation for sport to take hold in dissolving social distinctions: “Dance groups also provided individuals from poor and socially marginal backgrounds with avenues for achieving status, titles and positions of authority as well as ritualised atmosphere in which they could challenge superiors.”2
Alegi continues to describe how British attempts to control were constantly met with increasing senses of unity. “By strengthening the unity of people within their neighbourhoods, the clubs also served to enhance the foundation from which African nationalist challenges were mounted in the coming decade.”3 These nationalist challenges came through in football through boycotting matches based on biased referees. “Teams also voiced their opposition to particular referees by boycotting matches to which offending referees had been assigned.”4 Ultimately it was the matches themselves, between colonizer and colonized which Fair associates with struggles for independence. “The matches which were fought between key contenders for political power seemed to provide temporary relief from growing ethnic tensions and a more immediate resolution of the long-term struggle for national independence.”5
Peter Alegi makes similar conclusions about football's ability to provide relief from social and political struggles yet he provides more detail on which struggles the colonized, specifically South Africans faced. Alegi continues with illustrating how football united those Africans that were targeted by discriminatory laws and allowed them vehicles to defy not only elite ruling class Africans but their white colonizers illustrating “The game's powerful ability to shape common social bonds in a society deeply divided along racial, class, linguistic, gender, and regional lines.”6
Unification across class lines is the central part of Boria Majumdar's article on football in India. Majumdar focuses on the beginnings of the sport in which Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikary becomes a national figure as the 'father of Indian soccer' and ultimately promoting a system which allowed movement between castes in a society that was sharply divided along social lines.
Taking a different point of view, Kausik Bandyopadhyay centers on the 1911 IFA Shield match in India as a case study of how football came to function as a form of resistance against colonial control. His article, “1911 in Retrospect: A Revisionist Perspective on a Famous Indian Sporting Victory” argues that Mohun Bagan's victory united Indians across the country when it defeated a European team in the championship. “Football began to be identified with something very akin to fighting the colonial masters.”7
Finally, an article by Shaun Lopez, a stunningly handsome professor at the University of Washington, shows how resistance through football manifests itself in postcolonial Egypt. “Football as National Allegory: Al-Ahram and the Olympics in 1920s Egypt” is strikingly different from the other articles which are full of evidence of how football unified communities and became a way to instill indigenous culture into a new form of resistance. Lopez seems to suggest that football in Egypt, particularly in the 1924 and 1928 Olympics, was an effort to break out of the colonized mold and become a modern nation by citing the writing of a major newspapers sports page. This argument shows an interesting contrast to the other articles. Instead of using football to beat the colonizer to create their own identity Egypt seems to want to win in an effort to prove its similarity, to become the colonizer. “For Egyptian nationalists, Egypt's intrinsic worthiness for modern nationhood was often cast in relation to both the West and also to other colonized locales, and football competitions thus provided an internationally recognized cultural arena for the performance and evaluation of postcolonial modernity.”8
With the exception of Lopez's article, many of these works seem to share a central theme. Football as a unifying force that ultimately brought together colonized nations and provided an outlet though which resistance could be waged. Not only was football adopted and used in resisting but it was infused with cultural elements that made it distinct to each area. Football in colonial Zanzibar is a textbook example of resisting through football. Fair's article describes how football's ability to overcome social division was rooted in indigenous dance. “While these dance organisations often reflected existing social divisions, some groups provided opportunities for bridging class and ethnic cleavages.”9 Using cultural cues to create their own sense of the game was not solely Zanzibari. Boria Majumdar writes that a central part of Indian pride came through playing football barefoot. “The virtual universality of masculine sport in colonial India went hand in hand with its cultural indigenization.”10 Playing barefoot was not only a way to make football distinctly Indian, but it helped unite those who played. As in Zanzibar, South Africans linked football with dance for not only its participants, but for those spectating; establishing the “profound connections between sport, music, dance, and liquor in South African popular culture.”11 While many of the articles reach similar conclusions about the process of resisting through football the approaches are quite unique. Fair concentrates on the back and forth struggle of control that the British faced in colonial Zanzibar and the importance of boycotting biased referees which reinforced the colonized's power play. Though Alegi's article also deals with an African nation it focuses on establishing the history of legislature that forms a foundation of oppression for South Africans to unite and fight against. The two articles on India deal with similar themes of unity and resistance yet focus on different aspects of its history. Majumdar's article more generally argues the unifying force of football in India, citing how football allowed Indians to battle stereotypes of effeminacy as well as its adaptation to indigenous culture by playing barefoot. Bandyopadhyay chooses to focus on the events of 1911 as a microcosm of the role of football. Ultimately Bandyopadhyay and Majumdar reach similar conclusions but through different means.
By approaching these questions of resistance through different lenses it offers a more thorough understanding of the complex situation. Yet it is interesting that the articles find the same basic conclusions. Football creates resistance through its ability to unify and create challenges. However, the articles do seem to neglect potential key aspects, sometimes only hinting at their role. Firstly, many of the articles mention spectating, yet do not seem to evolve it's role in the resistance movement. Spectating creates the ability for everyone to become a part of the match. The match was the culmination of resistance for each team, each nation. The direct symbolism of matches could not be lost on the spectators who witnessed it and without spectatorship the results of these matches would not have been felt so universally, both for colonizer and colonized.
Another gap seems to be a lack of information on the point of view of the colonizer. The importance of these matches could not have been lost on the colonizer. Were the effects felt in Britain? What stake did the British people have in beating the colonizer? The fact that the articles arrive at similar conclusions is almost a letdown. It feels as if something is missing. Though Bandyopadhyay's article mentions the possibility that the importance of these matches to the colonized would somehow be regarded as a success by the British, he concludes, and I agree that this is most likely a flawed argument. The notion that the British would find anything but shame in losing to those who they colonized at their own game is hard to buy, yet the notion of another viewpoint is interesting, if for no other reason then it makes one wonder about other interpretations of resistance through sport in the empire. Finally there is Lopez's article. It almost seems misplaced in this collection. A postcolonial study among colonial ones. Yet while the other articles argue unity and resistance by including important indigenous values, Lopez illustrates how the Egyptians resist against their own flawed history. Egypt's desire to win seems rooted not in a desire to gain independent status but to become one of the the colonizers. Egypt's success is marked in whether or not it was seen belonging to a European class, a modern state, devoid of the backwards notions typically attributed to 'non-Western nations'.
Ultimately, Egypt's story can be compared to those of Zanzibar, South Africa, and India. All attempts to break out of an inferior mold cast upon them so many decades ago. Football served this purpose well. Allowing direct competition and symbolic matches that signified the political and social struggles at the time. The difference between Lopez's article and the other articles remains the ultimate goal of resistance.

Yet, the World Cup is no coincidental representation of a more independent nation. For many former British colonies sport has a history of serving the colonized people in resisting British rule. Often it was used by the colonizers to foster a sense of discipline and hard work, but mostly it was meant to help control. However, this control was often flipped on its head and used against the colonizer. Sport in the British Empire served as a unifying force, often imbibing nationalist rhetoric, with matches serving as focused representations of the climate of social and political struggle. Football was the most popular sport in the empire and it often unified the colonized across economic and social classes. Once adopted, football matches would be opportunities for indigenous people to resist.
In Zanzibar the constant bias of foreign referees found native teams boycotting matches. Indian teams in Calcutta resisted by combining football with indigenous culture, playing barefoot, which gave their victories all the more impressive and all the more punishing to the colonizing counterparts. South African football allowed native teams to directly reject British attempts to control matches and leagues. Finally, in post colonial Egypt, football was a way to shed the stereotypes associated with being a colonized nation, giving them credit as a modern nation. These examples show how sport and specifically football in the British Empire served as a vehicle through which colonized people could resist in a number of ways.
Laura Fair's article “Kickin' It: Leisure, Politics and Football in Colonial Zanzibar, 1900s-1950s” highlights the progression of control struggles between Zanzibar footballers and their British colonizers. Fair establishes that the British had difficulty in maintaining control over the neighborhood teams and leagues, and more importantly, difficulty in controlling what football meant to those who participated. “Although the British wrote and administered the rules of play, they exercised very little influence over how teams were organised in the neighbourhoods or the meanings which men attributed to the game within their own lives.”1 She also establishes the role of dance in providing a foundation for sport to take hold in dissolving social distinctions: “Dance groups also provided individuals from poor and socially marginal backgrounds with avenues for achieving status, titles and positions of authority as well as ritualised atmosphere in which they could challenge superiors.”2
Alegi continues to describe how British attempts to control were constantly met with increasing senses of unity. “By strengthening the unity of people within their neighbourhoods, the clubs also served to enhance the foundation from which African nationalist challenges were mounted in the coming decade.”3 These nationalist challenges came through in football through boycotting matches based on biased referees. “Teams also voiced their opposition to particular referees by boycotting matches to which offending referees had been assigned.”4 Ultimately it was the matches themselves, between colonizer and colonized which Fair associates with struggles for independence. “The matches which were fought between key contenders for political power seemed to provide temporary relief from growing ethnic tensions and a more immediate resolution of the long-term struggle for national independence.”5
Peter Alegi makes similar conclusions about football's ability to provide relief from social and political struggles yet he provides more detail on which struggles the colonized, specifically South Africans faced. Alegi continues with illustrating how football united those Africans that were targeted by discriminatory laws and allowed them vehicles to defy not only elite ruling class Africans but their white colonizers illustrating “The game's powerful ability to shape common social bonds in a society deeply divided along racial, class, linguistic, gender, and regional lines.”6
Unification across class lines is the central part of Boria Majumdar's article on football in India. Majumdar focuses on the beginnings of the sport in which Nagendra Prasad Sarbadhikary becomes a national figure as the 'father of Indian soccer' and ultimately promoting a system which allowed movement between castes in a society that was sharply divided along social lines.
Taking a different point of view, Kausik Bandyopadhyay centers on the 1911 IFA Shield match in India as a case study of how football came to function as a form of resistance against colonial control. His article, “1911 in Retrospect: A Revisionist Perspective on a Famous Indian Sporting Victory” argues that Mohun Bagan's victory united Indians across the country when it defeated a European team in the championship. “Football began to be identified with something very akin to fighting the colonial masters.”7
Finally, an article by Shaun Lopez, a stunningly handsome professor at the University of Washington, shows how resistance through football manifests itself in postcolonial Egypt. “Football as National Allegory: Al-Ahram and the Olympics in 1920s Egypt” is strikingly different from the other articles which are full of evidence of how football unified communities and became a way to instill indigenous culture into a new form of resistance. Lopez seems to suggest that football in Egypt, particularly in the 1924 and 1928 Olympics, was an effort to break out of the colonized mold and become a modern nation by citing the writing of a major newspapers sports page. This argument shows an interesting contrast to the other articles. Instead of using football to beat the colonizer to create their own identity Egypt seems to want to win in an effort to prove its similarity, to become the colonizer. “For Egyptian nationalists, Egypt's intrinsic worthiness for modern nationhood was often cast in relation to both the West and also to other colonized locales, and football competitions thus provided an internationally recognized cultural arena for the performance and evaluation of postcolonial modernity.”8
With the exception of Lopez's article, many of these works seem to share a central theme. Football as a unifying force that ultimately brought together colonized nations and provided an outlet though which resistance could be waged. Not only was football adopted and used in resisting but it was infused with cultural elements that made it distinct to each area. Football in colonial Zanzibar is a textbook example of resisting through football. Fair's article describes how football's ability to overcome social division was rooted in indigenous dance. “While these dance organisations often reflected existing social divisions, some groups provided opportunities for bridging class and ethnic cleavages.”9 Using cultural cues to create their own sense of the game was not solely Zanzibari. Boria Majumdar writes that a central part of Indian pride came through playing football barefoot. “The virtual universality of masculine sport in colonial India went hand in hand with its cultural indigenization.”10 Playing barefoot was not only a way to make football distinctly Indian, but it helped unite those who played. As in Zanzibar, South Africans linked football with dance for not only its participants, but for those spectating; establishing the “profound connections between sport, music, dance, and liquor in South African popular culture.”11 While many of the articles reach similar conclusions about the process of resisting through football the approaches are quite unique. Fair concentrates on the back and forth struggle of control that the British faced in colonial Zanzibar and the importance of boycotting biased referees which reinforced the colonized's power play. Though Alegi's article also deals with an African nation it focuses on establishing the history of legislature that forms a foundation of oppression for South Africans to unite and fight against. The two articles on India deal with similar themes of unity and resistance yet focus on different aspects of its history. Majumdar's article more generally argues the unifying force of football in India, citing how football allowed Indians to battle stereotypes of effeminacy as well as its adaptation to indigenous culture by playing barefoot. Bandyopadhyay chooses to focus on the events of 1911 as a microcosm of the role of football. Ultimately Bandyopadhyay and Majumdar reach similar conclusions but through different means.
By approaching these questions of resistance through different lenses it offers a more thorough understanding of the complex situation. Yet it is interesting that the articles find the same basic conclusions. Football creates resistance through its ability to unify and create challenges. However, the articles do seem to neglect potential key aspects, sometimes only hinting at their role. Firstly, many of the articles mention spectating, yet do not seem to evolve it's role in the resistance movement. Spectating creates the ability for everyone to become a part of the match. The match was the culmination of resistance for each team, each nation. The direct symbolism of matches could not be lost on the spectators who witnessed it and without spectatorship the results of these matches would not have been felt so universally, both for colonizer and colonized.
Another gap seems to be a lack of information on the point of view of the colonizer. The importance of these matches could not have been lost on the colonizer. Were the effects felt in Britain? What stake did the British people have in beating the colonizer? The fact that the articles arrive at similar conclusions is almost a letdown. It feels as if something is missing. Though Bandyopadhyay's article mentions the possibility that the importance of these matches to the colonized would somehow be regarded as a success by the British, he concludes, and I agree that this is most likely a flawed argument. The notion that the British would find anything but shame in losing to those who they colonized at their own game is hard to buy, yet the notion of another viewpoint is interesting, if for no other reason then it makes one wonder about other interpretations of resistance through sport in the empire. Finally there is Lopez's article. It almost seems misplaced in this collection. A postcolonial study among colonial ones. Yet while the other articles argue unity and resistance by including important indigenous values, Lopez illustrates how the Egyptians resist against their own flawed history. Egypt's desire to win seems rooted not in a desire to gain independent status but to become one of the the colonizers. Egypt's success is marked in whether or not it was seen belonging to a European class, a modern state, devoid of the backwards notions typically attributed to 'non-Western nations'.
Ultimately, Egypt's story can be compared to those of Zanzibar, South Africa, and India. All attempts to break out of an inferior mold cast upon them so many decades ago. Football served this purpose well. Allowing direct competition and symbolic matches that signified the political and social struggles at the time. The difference between Lopez's article and the other articles remains the ultimate goal of resistance.

sebageorge: its a song by bryan adams
sebageorge: wt abt books on reincarnation
etenyoshindwe: well, its good. talks about the soul,religion,God
etenyoshindwe: the soul drives the body, the body drives the soul
sebageorge: yes
sebageorge: thats an indian concept
etenyoshindwe: so if we nourish the soul then we add to the world too
etenyoshindwe: also that God can be defined using many names
etenyoshindwe: but the one that describes most of his atributes is Krisna
sebageorge: budhism and hinduism agrees to it
etenyoshindwe: also that there four kinds of men. and the kind that we should strive to be is bakhta
etenyoshindwe: he serves God expecting nothing in return
etenyoshindwe: not like most people in all religions donowadays
etenyoshindwe: serve God coz you know yuo'll get blessings or gifts.....like a business
etenyoshindwe: exchange
etenyoshindwe: that in reincarnation, people are given a second chance, especially if maybe they served God and lost their way before death
etenyoshindwe: then they are returened in either a financially or spiritually stable family
etenyoshindwe: so that they have a chance to be better

sebageorge: its a song by bryan adams
sebageorge: wt abt books on reincarnation
etenyoshindwe: well, its good. talks about the soul,religion,God
etenyoshindwe: the soul drives the body, the body drives the soul
sebageorge: yes
sebageorge: thats an indian concept
etenyoshindwe: so if we nourish the soul then we add to the world too
etenyoshindwe: also that God can be defined using many names
etenyoshindwe: but the one that describes most of his atributes is Krisna
sebageorge: budhism and hinduism agrees to it
etenyoshindwe: also that there four kinds of men. and the kind that we should strive to be is bakhta
etenyoshindwe: he serves God expecting nothing in return
etenyoshindwe: not like most people in all religions donowadays
etenyoshindwe: serve God coz you know yuo'll get blessings or gifts.....like a business
etenyoshindwe: exchange
etenyoshindwe: that in reincarnation, people are given a second chance, especially if maybe they served God and lost their way before death
etenyoshindwe: then they are returened in either a financially or spiritually stable family
etenyoshindwe: so that they have a chance to be better
