    Egyptian Soccer in the El-Sisi Era: a Political Double-Edged Sword

    Egyptian Soccer in the el-Sisi era: A Political Double-Edged Sword Ofir Winter and Ezzat Hamed The Egyptian soccer team qualified for the World Cup in 2018 for the first time since 1990, and for the third time in its history. The man who led Egypt to this prestigious position is the talented forward Mohamed Salah, a 26 year-old player for the Liverpool team in England. The team’s participation in the tournament in Russia, as well as Salah’s personal achievements, has aroused huge waves of social and political interest far beyond the boundaries of sport. The reaction of the Egyptian regime was ambivalent: on the one hand, the enormous support for the national team and Salah was used by President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as a lever to boost his internal position, and was exploited by his regime to launch an international campaign marketing Egypt as a destination for tourism and investment; on the other hand, the massive crowds assembling in public spaces, the launch of Salah as a hero of popular culture, and finally, the professional and management failure of the team in Russia have all presented the regime with challenges. Historical Background: Soccer and Politics in Egypt Soccer is considered the most popular sport in modern Egypt, but its political role has fluctuated under different leaders and in various periods. While Presidents Gamal Abdel Nasser and Anwar el-Sadat did not generally frequent soccer stadiums, President Husni Mubarak managed to leverage the game’s popularity in order to seem closer to the masses and deflect their attention away from their daily troubles.

    10 Février 2008 : Il Y a 13 Ans, Le Cameroun Perdait La Finale De La

    237actu.com FIFA.com nous propose de revivre la finale de la 26ème édition entre l'Égypte et le Cameroun qui se tenait le 10 février 2008, et qui avait vu les Pharaons conserver leur titre. L'Egypte fait partie des meilleures équipes africaines, et figure en tête du nombre de couronnes continentales avec sept Coupes d'Afrique des Nations de la CAF. La suprématie qu'ils ont établie lors de trois éditions consécutives entre 2006 et 2010 demeure à jamais dans les livres d'histoire et les cœurs des Égyptiens. Après le quatrième titre continental des Pharaons en 1998 au Burkina Faso, sous la houlette du regretté Mahmoud El Gohary, les supporters égyptiens ont dû attendre huit ans pour renouer avec la gloire. Les hommes d'Hassan Shehata ont su profiter de l'organisation sur leur sol de l'édition de 2006 pour conquérir à nouveau le trône africain. Le milieu de terrain Mohamed Aboutrika avait achevé le travail avec son tir au but victorieux face à la Côte d'Ivoire. On dit parfois qu'il est plus facile de rester au sommet que d'y arriver. Les Pharaons l'ont démontré en 2008, déjouant les pronostics défavorables. Au Ghana, l'Egypte a réalisé un parcours exceptionnel. Après une victoire contre le Cameroun (4-2), favori de la compétition, elle a dominé le Soudan (3-0) et a fini première de son groupe suite à un nul face à la Zambie (1-1). En quart de finale, elle a disposé de l'Angola (2-1), avant de donner une leçon à un autre 1 / 3 Phoca PDF 237actu.com favori, la Côte d'Ivoire (4-1).

    Passeport Pour La CAN 2012 Xxviiie COUPE D'afrique DES NATIONS DE FOOTBALL Gabon & Guinée Équatoriale 21 Janvier

    Passeport pour la CAN 2012 XXVIIIe COUPE D’AFRIQUE DES NATIONS DE FOOTBALL Gabon & Guinée Équatoriale 21 janvier – 12 février 2012 Ré alisé par Rfi Multimedia 1 INTRODUCTION La CAN se déroule pour la deuxième fois seulement de son histoire en Afrique centrale. Quarante ans après l’édition 1972 au Cameroun, le Gabon et la Guinée équatoriale coorganisent la plus grande manifestation sportive du continent. Contrairement à la CAN 2000 au Nigeria et au Ghana, c’est un mariage de raison qui rassemble Gabonais et Equato-Guinéens. Les deux Fédérations de football ont uni leurs forces pour cette occasion. Le pari est difficile mais il est beau car cette CAN 2012 s’annonce palpitante. Pour la première fois depuis la CAN 1996 et le forfait de la sélection nigériane, le vainqueur est absent lors de la phase finale suivante. Les Pharaons d’Egypte, malgré leurs sept sacres, n’ont pas franchi les éliminatoires, comme les Camerounais (4 trophées), les Nigérians (2 trophées), les Léopards de RD Congo (2) et les Algériens (1). Les équipes du Ghana et de la Côte d’Ivoire, présentes lors de la Coupe du monde 2010, seront donc les favorites du tournoi. Il faudra aussi compter avec le Sénégal et le Maroc qui reviennent fort après avoir manqué la Coupe d’Afrique 2010. Cette toute dernière CAN disputée une année paire permettra aussi au grand public, de découvrir de nouveaux joueurs. Les Botswanais, les Equato-Guinéens et les Nigériens feront leurs tous premiers pas dans la compétition. Souhaitons-leur que cette 28e édition ressemble plus à la très belle CAN 2008 qu’à la décevante CAN 2010.

    Sports Washing and Politics in African Football,Africa United: the Cup of Nations Returns and Kenya Made It to the Party,Confess

    Sports Washing and Politics in African Football By Carey Baraka Between 2006 and 2010, the Egyptian national men’s football team proved to be a resolute force at the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), winning the continental trophy three times. Fans of this all- conquering Egyptian side remember such names as Essam El-Hadary, Hosni Abd Rabou, Mohamed Zidan, and Amr Zaki. For many, the qualities of marauding midfielder Mohamed Aboutrika, exemplified the spirit of the team. Aboutrika, also known as “El Magico”, “Amir El Qolob” (prince of hearts), or, simply, “Arab’s Zidane”, won the CAF ( Confederation of African Football) Africa Best Player of the Year a record four times and scored the sole goal in the final in AFCON 2008 as The Pharaohs edged out the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra. With his status as a legend of Egyptian football, one would have expected that at the concluded 2019 Total African Cup of Nations hosted by Egypt, Aboutrika would have been the face of the tournament, his image emblazoned across the country’s stadia. However, Aboutrika was absent from the tournament, and from the country entirely. Aboutrika has been in exile in Qatar since 2017 and on the country’s terror watch list because of his links with the Muslim Brotherhood. Aboutrika established a reputation for voicing strong political views. In 2008, in a national team game against Sudan, Aboutrika celebrated a goal by removing his jersey to reveal a T-shirt underneath with a message reading “Sympathize with Gaza”, written in both Arabic and English, in protest of Israel’s ten-day blockade of Gaza.
