Human Trafficking in and Through Football: Case Studies Involving “Fake Agents”
Human Trafficking in and through Football: case studies involving “fake agents” Background It is a well know fact that the game of football and the successes of its players have instigated a growing aspiration within youngsters all over the world. The need to develop such young talents have led to the recruitment young boys, and increasingly girls, in many parts of the Global South, namely on the African and Latin American continents. In the same light, it has also increased the motivation of traffickers to prey on aspiring young talents who often lack the opportunities that some of the peers in the Western world possess. In 2015, an article in the international press claimed that 15,000 young players were moved from West Africa yearly under false pretence.1 The hidden nature of the crime means that the number could be higher. In Belgium, 442 cases of ‘African soccer slaves’ were uncovered by Senator Jean Marie Dedecker when he exposed the illegal trade in Nigerian players within European football2. When moving alone to unknown places, children are always in danger of becoming victims of crimes like human trafficking and other forms of slavery. Illicit recruitment agents use the world of football to make money by faking contracts and luring young African players to migrate to Europe under illegal conditions, only to abandon them as soon as they can. Even though sometimes the athletes migrate through legal routes, they end up becoming illegal by overstaying their visas.3 In some cases, young people are given short-term visas and contracts for trials with clubs in Europe, entering the destination country even by airplane, often paid for by the hard-earned money borrowed or given to them by their immediate or extended families. -

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. -
Football Against Racism - European Commission and UEFA Cooperate
IP/97/62 Brussels, 28 janvier 1997 Football Against Racism - European Commission and UEFA cooperate For the first time ever, a European All-Star team will play an All-Star African team. This historic match is being played in the framework of the European Year Against Racism 1997, on the basis of cooperation between the European Commission and UEFA. It will be the first big sport event dedicated to the spirit of the Year. This match will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, on Wednesday 29 January at 21h15. It will be broadcast by a number of television stations in Europe (RTP in Portugal, TVE in Spain, RTL in Germany, RTI in Italy, Mega Channel in Greece and Star TV in Turkey). It will also be shown by national broadcasters in the majority of African countries, including SABC in South Africa, and by the international network of American broadcaster, ESPN. The key message of the event is that racism has no place in sport and football. The Commission very much welcomes UEFA’s active involvement in the European Year. In Europe, there is no sport which attracts more attention and involvement than football, and there is no other sport which is enjoyed by so many people from different backgrounds and origins. The All-Star African team has many players who play for European teams such as Ajax , Anderlecht and FC Köln (see Annex). The revenue from the match will be used for football projects in Africa. There will be a discussion on racism and football during half-time. Padraig Flynn, European Commissioner with responsibility for Employment and Social Affairs, will contribute to this debate by video, as he has to be in The Hague on 30 January for the Opening Conference of the European Year against Racism.
