congratulations, all rights we are talking about the state of women's football on the african continent. you can be in that conversation as well. what are you want to know about african football from a women's perspective? how is the sport doing? comment section right here. be part of today's show. i'm going to show you a picture of deseret working quite recently at the women's african cup of nations. deseret. what were you doing here? what was going for your head? that is a moment when i'm not happy when i'm not happy and i'm just looking and seeing where i can contribute. you know timbers laughing because she knows exactly what what that picture looks like. 10 b tempe. when your coach looks like this, what, what is she yelling out at the players? it depends. it depends on what we have done. but i think it would be

a moment today. she's expecting us to be screen or in a moment where we're supposed to not be getting a call again. so i know that look and it's not a really good look. yeah. so we can we go from serious desert a very serious here to this desert? articulate that small, those thoughts, that energy it was, it was a moment that it's very difficult to describe when you have just become an african champion. we so many things are going your mind where you actually showing people back home and thanking them for the support. thanking everyone that the support that you and i still have a very big smile. i can't stop smiling. i sometimes people with my middle right next to me and i want to pinch myself. you know, is this really true? it's something that we have work for. for the last 4 years and it's fine to come through. so yeah, something that you, you almost tell someone pinch me,

pinch me. so i am thinking ayesha angenie this moment here where there was so much pride from south africans that their national female football team came out as champions. what does that mean? is that a big meaning to where football is on the african continent for women? usher youth start. well, honestly, when you think about the investment that south africa as a country has put into women's football over the years, and especially in the last 30 years, it only befitting that the one this year's wife going, it's a story that replicates. and that shows that there are no shortcuts to success for a very long time. so africa was the almost team, you know. but finally they turned on that switch. and you know, you could feel even at half time, busier and know you could feel that, you know, that africa have an edge of moral grade that final. and i'm so happy for everyone that has contributed to that journey. it's just a clear message,

you know out there that you have to invest and when you invest in women's football you'll get the results. it's just as simple as that. jenny, i'm just wondering about who the best female football teams all and the african continent can do 1234 for us please. up the pad, who bought things on the continent, nigeria, south africa, queen. at the moment, moral co and edge in that as well. zombie i come our own funds will not like what i say. oh ok. so in the last few years that has been real strategy, real efforts to improve african football for winning tempe. what if you seeing what difference is it now as a player on the african continent? because i can be when come back to we need to do some playing around with your headphones. it may come right back to you and let me just pass that along to your coach, deseret. what's changed in the last few years, i think has been a campaign,

a strategy from the confederation of african football to really ruin up the state of women's football on the african continent. what have you seen? why i think it started with a capital wins champions league coming on board. i think that was a huge shift. was a huge change. you can see the shifting the club now. everyone wanting to win that league to go out and take things out with regards to westcan. it was an amazing westcan while organized. i mean, you look at the, the stadium that was packed out for the final morocco organize the really fantastic tournament. i also looked at, you know, all the new club, new countries that have come on board and none of them when anyway, you know, the schools were, were not that big. so everybody has gone and done the work. a lot of investment has been done by morocco and they wouldn't they would that that. 6 they're not in the

final buy chunk, you know, they put in a locked in the basement. you look at the, they use teams also going to the, to the woke up the mean seems going to the woke up. and that, that's when you put in the basement. you look, molly was not, they were total guinea was not they. and you had you had 4 different towns and you know, way where they out of place in the competition either. so they putting it, why is a come on board improved? we even have a female the pre going to the means. we'll cup and i think she was fantastic in the final as well. the organization is been talking about the development of the game in africa for women's football. this is barbara talking fees. she's a, as ambient. well, this is barbara talking to years ago when jeanine are going to come off the back if you and, and just wondering if things have got even better since barbara said bessie, she is most of the african players, women is now playing blood. everyone wants to hide and play proficient way. think

now it's no people coming to know that. okay. and then also, i think it's, after i says, we mean to me though i so whatever we want to confidence there, but all the players ready to go on to a bigger stage that goes outside of the african content. if you're truly honest, janine what else is needed? what is needed is improving our speech in africa. i mean, my just had one that 9 times up until the last few years. been my job as primarily at this point in time is one of the oldest women lead for balding in the world. so are we will come back to jenny because we've just lost her. she just froze in there. so i'm going to just cut for that question across the usher. i sure help me pick up here. what else is needed to improve the

sport? not just in one part of the continent, but all over so that we've got a continent wide game for women that is really worth watching and spectacular and brings up the young people as well. it's interesting you asked this question 4 years ago in 2018 in marcus marco. busy i was very honored to be tired of walking group was at the cashed women football symposium, the very fast of its kind and in this worship that had all you know, administrators and everyone was very passionate about women's football from the african continent came together to put up a strategy and this strategy, one of the 1st things that a deed was to have a women's foot board department at the concentration of african football in egypt. and in this department you have people work up every day to think about women's football. that means creating programs for fema referees creating programs for you

know, female coaches and then working together with the regional association. then when i say regional and for example, south africa is in the co suffer region, which is in the southern parts of africa. and you're talking about, you know, east africa, which is sick of waffle, which is west african region is a and beach. and then you have, you know, which is north africa and unified, which is center africa. so when you have consistently tournament, you know, for on the 17 and the 20 goes and you have a yellow competition for the senior national teams, these, you know, brings together players and they continue to get these exposure that then can be transformed into the national team. at the end of the day, and that has played a huge role in getting, you know, teams to understand what it means to compete at the highest level. we can talk about co, suffolk, to be very specific with africa, and banana, banana our end in this region. it's not by mistake. the 2 teams from casa medi to the semi finals africa,

and via and also one who are playing for the very 1st time got to the quarter finals. you know, so this kind of set up helps everyone holistically and specifically focus suffer who have insisted for the past couple of years that for you to come to the course efforts. and i mean, you have to have a female head coach, and that sort of brings perspective to the whole development. you know, program. i've got some youtube questions here. i see you nodding, so i'm just going to pick up with some of the questions from our audience. says divider says that today's topic is really essential, especially after watching the u. a for women's league attendance wasn't impressive until the finals for funding africa have to patronize the women's games. deseret thoughts on that? look. it was only morocco that had peptide stadiums for the rest of the competition

. it wasn't really peck taught. and i think if we talking about supporting, we also need to support in this 10. you know, people are passionate, but they need to support in the stand because it's not just on the field where the game needs to grow in the field where the game needs to grow as well. but i think also this westcan, i think they'll be more friends in the stadium. one other thing that i wanted to add as well is if we need to improve on the african continent. i think kathy needs to make sure that all inmates structured leaks, and then the next step after that, used to professionalize the sport because we can only compete with the rest of the world if we are doing similar things to the rest of the world. and at the moment, most of the leagues in africa is played on an amateur basis. we play as work and train off to work with teams, maybe practice twice. i got back into the conversation. jenny, i've got you chief question, which i know that you will be out the answer here, a k says, improve the officiating. i stop watching. well, that is

a shame. but if the officially thing so bright on some games, the women have to play on the african continent that people would start watching. today. people always need to have reasons and improve the quality of football. then they're doing like fantastic formations. i'm calling to see that does re, i'm like do, and then there's one more complete and you are never going to win. when you come to fun, i'm wondering what it's a valid concern. that should not be the reason why the 10s of thousands of young girls in africa will not get your chance to showcase exactly what they have an investment that's putting to them because of a handful of people. and that's what companies to improve. what he does need to improve is not make the biggest stage of women football or women support on the continent. the learning calls for mistakes to be done. if that has been cool when funds like i'm the comment on youtube and many more, but there is a step and that can be improved for sure. let me just share this if you tempe,

this is, these are your, your, your 40 mates here. i love this video, okay, this is a celebration video of you and your teammates here and the dance is on fire. i am wondering though, when you are in the locker rooms and you're talking about certain issues, this pay parity come up and me because banana banana has i'm better than the the font, the font, which is the males football team. you for glory back to south africa, extraordinary football players, but you don't get paid the same amount. i thought the 1st question i have would be between a line interview or the discussion. what, oh, should woman do in order to get your mission and guinea shirts and they do a crowned woman 2 minutes ago. and the woman who bought in euro hasn't even reached what the national to present because we have been needed, learns best,

but still that doesn't present what the national team you know, play and what we did know what then with with my nana thinking of going back so there's one questionnaire. is that what morse woman to the woman for bullets have to do in order to be taken seriously? and this goes out to federations, to sponsor, to even families, and all in other countries. girls are not allowed to play football. girls are not allowed to sit in sports. what else are we supposed to do? why are we being put in this box or what we can do and what we can do? it's amazing can be there in 2022. there still sexism involved in women's sport and particularly in football. how do you combat that? how do you tackle that? a little difficult question, but i think from where i'm standing, we just need to perform. we just need to be self and eventually, you know,

the world can not noise. long time we look at the changing league or the european may choose with the best long story on the field. not even men could fill up just again. so someone has to, you know, take charge and be able to say no, we, it's time we need to support women from bullets. it's time we need to bring a lot of opportunities for when for us. and it is the same in africa. we saw everywhere the african is being held stadiums been, you did mention that in morocco, so make sure that we're doing people watching but only when the home team was playing. so how do they make programs way? either teams can go to different countries to support because it's not only, you know, finances that have to stop. i mean, can, can not, they are the sponsors in the countries building. i an area a way that people can be able to clean and fund so that when it's time for big

tournaments you have support the team tools they have support, then we don't have to rely on the local, you know, friends to go. so fourty shall guess, i feel like there's at the moment with a cast, the confederation of african football that there is a carrot in a stick approach. ok, so the carrot approach is the for qualifiers from the women's african combinations . they get to go to the well cup, boom, they're there. and then the stick approach is if you don't have a female football team, you can enter their competitions as a male football team that is intense and bold. and we bring in another idea for how there can be more coaches, more women in the game, or football on the african continent. and this is from a coach court easy. and she coaches a s k gully. he, she is in february of this year when, when of jobs are able to foresee, what motivated me to become a coach was the government's policy of encouraging women to take an interest in

sports, especially soccer. the women who were high up in the government were leading by example on the field. and we were following. so i became a coach to younger reality. are you? well, there's a range that it's almost like a 2 point approach to how you get the game of football for women on the african continent up to a certain standard. how to keep it growing. have you seen that idea of the government helping funding the women's game? is that helpful? think that, you know, you need to put yourselves on the, by the biggest thing is being given the opportunity. i mean, i'll go ahead a female coach. i'm not, they've got a male coach uganda at a female coach. you know, so it's been giving that opportunity and trusting them. and that is what goes off or does well they implement that the, that the female coach, my head coach must be

a female. even if you have a mo coach assisting and in that way, the coaches getting expedient, but it's been given that opportunity that track and i think not me if we are doing that. and i think it's important because when you look on the continent, the amino quality female coaches, but they're not being given an opportunity. and i'll see the ration took a bold step to, you know, keep opportunities to, to all our national teams. are you 17 use coach by a former captain? some people do, do you 20 coach by a former player, a job, a little boy, and we sort of interact all the time, but it's being given that opportunity. but i think when i look at the narrative is changing, there's a competition in cape town called the coca cola cup. and before you've got the under 18 boys, you've got senior women and senior men and the senior woman's prize money was less than the you. 18 boys, but all of a sudden the prize money has jumped and it's not the same price money as the mode

team. so we don't realize the magnitude of our victory. all things have changed and all things are going to change. i also you the, you, you, you nice are in university of south africa. now given birth is to all 23 plays that qualified, you know, that one though the westcan. so slowly but surely things are changing, but i agree with tim b. i don't know what more we've been able to do, what more we have to do to get the sponsors coming on board. and maybe somebody works in sponsorship will regularly. 6 goes out and mix with sponsorship for women in sport can tell us what is missing today. let me put this. i all right, go 1st and then jenny and you go 2nd. make it, make it brief lady. so right. go ahead. okay, i'll go 1st. so for me, i never really get to understand the issue about the difference in pay because here's the thing. if a player and the coach and then the entire team is representing a country, the sauce of son is the government because you're wearing, in this case,

for example, you're wearing the south african flag, you're wearing the flag. so why is it that the women not getting the same amount as the men? i think your question don't just ask that question. you can call every story. it's a return, correct. and i'm next. next question. all right, there you go. janine, you knew the answer to that finish? go ahead. now, i was going to tell read and pen be that women don't need to do anything on the work. do not interest anything. you're not the one that the 5 you meet the millions of dollars every other week. before the women ask a couple of mission, every country that can women, couple of nation do not marketing within the country for people who will fly from the country to the stadium. to feel the fact that the people will leave the moral cool that needs to be kept up his job and the country needs to do bed. so don't do

anything. women sit down as queen do nothing. some interesting thoughts hear from you chip, i'm guy is not impressed with women soccer guy. what century are you living in? and then we've got look, let's see. sponsors need to come to the party and support the ladies a manual manual and tastic. yes, women's football is rapidly gaining momentum in africa. this is hi appreciative, the african women and the african continent as a how cost, as whoever loves soccer knows very well. what african women with that sport can do . it can be profitable as well. they should have done it already. there's a thought here time be about what you want for the younger generation coming up. if you had to leave them with one piece of advice or inspiration, what would you tell them heavy my advice to the young ones would be to fresh look opportunities. if you don't have, would you go to school because my football is growing? and if you where you'll be school always be there. and i think it's one thing that

in africa as a whole. yeah, we can read, you know, go goes hand in hand with school. so you won't be able to be a person that goes well, you won't be able to develop that. so i can be and deseret, an usher and jeanine for talking about women's football on the african continent. i'm gonna leave it with 2 journalists who are very encouraged about where the sport is right now. i, sam and julie my. so let's please take notes for the month. first and effects of clear mixing exception and game with national cham morgan. i ching about her talents and her liver of play with her to play in europe. i found the woman african curb shouldn't be a good living to make us very broad. her or old continents we me for both does change perceptions as years of that i've been here for so long, you know, about what women can do, african women can do, and will african girls going to do what they kind of do. and so wonderful does best

is show us it or women can do almost anything they won't put your mind to. it'll the show has been produced by maya gar. she is the senior producer of the stream. i don't normally tell you who produces the stream because it is a team effort like women's football. it takes a whole team, but there's always an m v p and that most valuable player is senior producer, my agog who's last show is to day. thank you, my a. garth, your spectacular. we wish you every success for where you go to next. get back. oh, good on al jazeera, kenya, braces for a tightly contested votes. as the country goes to the poles and the elections that will shape its future. the listening post examines and dissects the world media how they operate, the stories they cover. 5 years on since mia mars muslim minority were forced from
