  • 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.

  • Passeport Pour La CAN 2013
    Passeport pour la CAN 2013 XIXe COUPE D’AFRIQUE DES NATIONS DE FOOTBALL Afrique du Sud 19 janvier – 10 février 2013 Réalisé par RFI multimédia 1 2 INTRODUCTION Cette XIXe Coupe d'Afrique des nations se déroule dans un pays habitué aux grands événements. L'Afrique du Sud, nation déjà hôte en 1996, organise cette CAN 2013 avec des infrastructures (stades, routes, aéroports...) sans équivalent sur le continent. Les Sud-Africains abritent ce tournoi en lieu et place d'une Libye déstabilisée par la guerre. Rien d'insurmontable donc, a priori, pour un pays qui a organisé la Coupe du monde 2010. Cette CAN 2013 est en outre une aubaine pour l'équipe nationale sud-africaine qualifiée d'office après avoir manqué les deux dernières éditions. Les Bafana Bafana vont tenter de fédérer à nouveau le public, comme ils l’ont fait lors du sacre de 1996. Le sélectionneur Gordon Igesund et ses joueurs ne sont pas pour autant les têtes d'affiche du tournoi. La Zambie, championne d'Afrique en titre, est l'équipe à battre. Les autres favoris supposés viennent d'Afrique de l'Ouest : il s'agit de la Côte d'Ivoire, du Mali et du Ghana, respectivement 2e, 3e et 4e en 2012. Cette CAN sera sans doute le baroud d’honneur international de deux monuments du football africain : l’Ivoirien Didier Drogba et le Malien Seydou Keita. L’Afrique du Nord aura aussi son mot à dire : pour la première fois depuis 2004, l’Algérie, le Maroc et la Tunisie sont réunis. L’émulation devrait être forte entre les trois sélections maghrébines.

  • Ces Légendes Africaines Qui N'ont Pas Pu Remporter La
    237actu.com Ils font partie des icônes du football africain. Grâce à leur talent et à leurs performances exceptionnelles ils ont porté très haut le football africain. Devenus au fil du temps des légendes, ces footballeurs africains ont presque tous gagné en club. Certains ont permis à leur pays de participer pour la première fois à une coupe du monde et ont fait connaitre leur pays dans le monde entier. Dans cette liste, tous ceux qui y figurent sont à la retraite depuis quelques années. Jomo Sono (Afrique du Sud) Matsilela Ephraim Sono alias « Jomo Sono » est considéré comme le meilleur footballeur Sud- africain de tous les temps. Malheureusement, Jomo n’a jamais eu l’opportunité de se frotter au gratin du football africain à cause de la politique d’apartheid qui était en place en Afrique du Sud. À l’époque, l’équipe sud-africaine était constituée uniquement de blancs et les joueurs noirs n’étaient pas sélectionnables ce qui a peut-être empêché le sud-africain à ne pas avoir remporté la CAN . Kalusha Bwalya (Zambie) Quand on parle de monstres sacrés du football africain, on pense toujours à Kalusha Bwalya. 1 / 4 Phoca PDF 237actu.com Kalu est sans conteste le plus grand joueur zambien de l’histoire. En plus d’être le joueur le plus capé de l’histoire du football zambien (100 sélections) il en est aussi le meilleur buteur (50 buts.

ISBN : 978-2-268-06949-4 ISBN epub : 9782268092621 Préface « Un devoir de réussite pour le continent african » En tant que Ballon d’or africain, je me sens ambassadeur du football continental. C’est à travers ses joueurs de légende que mon envie de devenir footballeur est née. De tout temps, j’ai suivi de près les Coupes d’Afrique et l’histoire du football africain. C’est très important pour moi. Heureusement ! Même si j’ai grandi en France aux côtés de mon oncle Michel Goba, footballeur professionnel dont je me suis beaucoup inspiré, mes premiers souvenirs me ramènent à mon enfance et mon quartier d’Abidjan. Nous faisions des petits tournois avec comme coupe, une bouteille d’eau que nous retournions et qui était remplie de bonbons. L’idole des Ivoiriens, dont vous découvrirez la vie et la carrière dans cet ouvrage, s’appelait alors Laurent Pokou. Il était l’attaquant vedette des Éléphants, la fierté de la nation. Dans l’histoire du foot africain, le Cameroun tient une place à part. À la Coupe du monde 1990, il a fait vibrer toute l’Afrique. C’était la première fois qu’une sélection continentale atteignait les quarts de finale de la compétition. Je n’avais pas encore vraiment de culture tactique, mais je pouvais voir que c’était un groupe véritablement soudé et qui avait une réelle envie de vaincre.
