The love for sports in Africa especially football, is visible in almost any part of the continent you find yourself. From the often controversial AFCON which African countries strive to be a part of to the really large followership of the English Premier League, La Liga, and other leagues, sport has become an outlet for the people of Africa. Football is not the only popular sports on the continent as others like Basketball, rugby, cricket and tennis are also quite common. However, poverty, infrastructural deficits, insufficient economic support and even leadership troubles have continued to pose a challenge on the continent’s ability to nurture talents and also improve its sports structure to one that is competitive and attractive. Presently, sports in Africa is no longer just a pastime but has become a source of income, a means to an end for a lot of Africans both old and young (especially).
