  • 'Life Without Sports': Socio-Economic
    ‘Life without Sports’: Socio-Economic Impacts of COVID-19 on South African Society from a Football Lens Bellita Banda Chitsamatanga ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8601-2755 Wayne Malinga ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3446-3313 Nqobile Sikhosana ORCID iD: https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8106-8709 Abstract Currently, the world is grappling with COVID-19’s effect on the health, social, financial, economic, political and cultural sectors. However, the spread of this pandemic has struck hard other industries such as the sporting industry. This has resulted in the cancellation and suspension of events and gatherings in various sporting codes across the globe. The sporting industry has unprecedented socio-economic effects for the broader population. Football as a sporting code includes ‘big money’ earned from major international events, match attendance, broadcasting and lucrative sponsorship deals. South Africa’s football is thus also generating ‘big money’. Due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, all associated football events and gatherings in South Africa were halted for a lengthy period of 5 months, spelling catastrophe for society’s socio-economic activities. This chapter relied primarily on desktop research to capture up –to- date information on football during this pandemic using content analysis. The authors observed that the socio-economic benefits accrued from football were on a downward spiral threatening jobs, social inclusion, entertainment, revenue generation, charitable and community activities. Consequently, the DOI: https://doi.org/10.29086/978-0-9869936-8-8/2020/AASBS05 127 Chapter URL pp. 127 - 154: http://alternation.ukzn.ac.za/Files/books/series/05/06-chitsamatanga.pdf Bellita Banda Chitsamatanga, Wayne Malinga and Nqobile Sikhosana continued spread of COVID-19 presents a significant risk to the football sector’s survival and its socio-economic benefits for society.
