À cet effet, après avoir rendu publique une liste élargie de 10 joueurs, la CAF a retenu hier 3 joueurs pour le titre de meilleur joueur africain. Il s’agit du champion d’Afrique Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City), du Sénégalais Sadio Mané (Liverpool) et de l’Égyptien Mohamed Salah de Liverpool aussi. Pour le titre de meilleur entraîneur africain de l’année 2019, la CAF a désigné dans la liste finale 3 techniciens : Djamel Belmadi, champion d’Afrique avec l’Algérie ; Aliou Cissé, vice-champion d’Afrique avec le Sénégal ; alors que le troisième entraîneur n’est autre que le driver de l’Espérance de Tunis, champion d’Afrique des clubs avec l’EST la saison derrière, à savoir Mouine Chabaani. À propos du titre du jeune talent africain, 3 joueurs aussi ont été retenus : il s’agit du Marocain Achraf Hakimi, et des deux Nigérians Samuel Chukwueze et Victor Osimhen. L’Algérien Bennacer (22 ans) aurait pu figurer dans cette liste finale, étant donné qu’il est le meilleur joueur de la dernière Coupe d’Afrique des nations en Égypte, mais la CAF l’a désigné avec Riyad Mahrez dans la liste des nominés pour le meilleur joueur africain de l’année.

  • Revised Final Masters Thesis Caitlin Lesczynski 1946040
    Bend it Like Banyana Banyana: Gender, Empowerment and Equality in South Africa Through the Lens of Soccer Caitlin Rose Lesczynski A thesis submitted to the Department of Journalism and Media Studies, Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts. Johannesburg, 2020 ABSTRACT Women and girls participating in sports surged around the world in the 1970s and 1980s in response to shifting attitudes on gender norms and equality. While recreational and professional sports participation is seen as a positive opportunity for female empowerment, the sports realm can also be a site for reproducing discriminatory gender norms, structural inequalities and unequal power dynamics from wider society. The primary purpose of this thesis is to use the case-study of women’s soccer in South Africa to identify and understand the societal phenomena that negatively affect women and girls’ sports participation and experience. Encouragingly, a handful of dedicated social scientists produced pioneering scholarly analysis of women’s soccer in South Africa; however, there is a dearth of contemporary journalism and longform, creative non-fiction writing on the topic. Rather than take the form of a traditional academic research report, this thesis combines factual exposition and journalistic storytelling to shed light on the subject matter in an accessible and engaging style. The final thesis comprises two parts⁠: (Part One) a Method Document that reviews the existing literature and presents a history of the global-local development of women’s soccer; and (Part Two) a Longform Narrative that imitates the style of a publishable piece of magazine journalism.
