african continent. you can be in that conversation as well. what do 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 through 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 to him, he's laughing because he knows exactly what, what that picture looks like. 10 b. tell me 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, you know, 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. thank you everyone that the support that you and i still have a very big smile. i can 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 worked for for the last 4 years and it's finally 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, you 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 halftime 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 tell somebody will come back to you. 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 based when you look at the,

the youth 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 for debbie don't and you know way where they out of placing the competition either. so they putting it while it's come on board, improved even as a female, the pre going to the means will 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, few of them being for whether this is up barbara talking to years ago. and then to me, and i'm going to come off the back if you and, and just wondering if things have got even better since barbara said this, he, she is part of the african players. women is now playing and blood. everyone wants to work hard and play proficient way. think now it's no people coming to know that

. okay. and then the only other level. so i think it's up to, i says we may have to commit ourselves 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 i jo, him 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 . acosta. usher, usher, help me pick up here. what else is needed to improve the sport?

not just in one part of the content 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 i was very honored to be thought of walking group was at the cashed women football symposium, the very fast of its kind. and in this walk ship that had all you know, administrators and everyone was very passionate about limits. 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 football department at the concentration of african football in egypt. and in this department you have people look up every day to think about women's football. that means creating programs for fema referees creating programs for you know, female coaching and then walking together with the regional association. then when

i say the general and for example, south africa is in the course of the region which is in the southern parts of africa. and you're talking about, you know, east africa, which is sick alpha, one for which is west african region is a and beat. and then you have, you know, which is north africa and unified, which is central 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 cor, suffolk, to be very specific with africa and banana, banana are. and in this region, it's not by mistake. the 2 teams from cor safa medi to the semifinals center, africa,

and via and also trying to who are playing for the very 1st time got to the course of finance. you know, so this kind of set up helps everyone holistically and specifically focus offer was insisted for the past couple of years that for you to come to the course after turn i meant you have to have a female head coach. and that sort of brings perspective to the whole development program. i've got some new 2 questions here. i see you nodding, so i'm just going to pick up with some of the questions from our audience. so 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 final football fans in 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 was 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 sand 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 fans 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 as well. i got back into the conversation. jenny, i've got you chief question, which i know that you will be out to answer here. a k says, improve the officiating. i stopped watching. well, that is

a shame. but if the officiating so bright on some games that the women have to play on the african continent that people would start watching jenny, 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. tens 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 big get stage of women football or women support on the continent, the learning cause 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 can be,

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 pe parity come up to me because, but y'all, a 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 hadn't even reached what the national to present yesterday 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 sport. 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? is a really difficult question, but i think from where i'm standing, we just need to perform. we just need to be in the south and eventually, you know,

the world can no, no, as long time we look at the champions league or the european matches with the best long stadium refilled. not even men could fill up just again. so someone has to, you know, take charge and, and be 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 boilers. and it's the same in africa. we saw if you where 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 too much clean . 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, came, cannot do the sponsors in the country 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. golly he she is in february of this year when, when are you able to foresee what motivated me to become a coach? was the governance policy of encouraging women to take an interest in sports,

especially soccer. the women who are high up in the government were leading by example on the field, and we were following. so i became a coach younger realty. how are you? well, there's a range. there'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 fund in the women's game? is that helpful? in 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 going to mail 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 fema coach might not. the head coach must be a female. even 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 you are doing that. and i think it's important because when you look on the continent, the minute quality, female coaches, but they're not being given an opportunity. and i'll see the ration took a bold step to, you know, give opportunities to, to all our national teams. are you? 17 is coach by a former captain. some people do, do you 20th 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 mold team. so we don't realize the magnitude of our victory,

all things change and all things are going to change. i also, you the, you, you, you, nissan university in south africa is now given birth. that is to all, $23.00 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 goes out and mix with sponsorship for winning 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 sus 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 sent you a question. don't just ask that question. you can call every, sorry, it's a return chris and next, next question. all right, there you go. janine, you knew the answer to that finish? go ahead. now, i was going to tell re 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, the stand up from the people will leave the moral cool that needs to be kept up his job. and the country needs to do bad. 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 how you 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 will 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 will be school always be there. and i think it's one thing

that in africa as a whole. yeah, we can read, you know, football 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 will tell me. i can be and deseret, an usher and geneva talk 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 the national cham morgan . i ting about her talents and her liberal play with her to play in europe. i found the roman 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 to years of that i've been here for so long, you know, about what women can do, african women can do, and what african girls going to do on what they can do. and so what i mean from

what does best is show us it or when we can do almost anything that will put your mind to it'll the show has been produced by maya god. 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. good luck. a simple after flying a flag, but in the occupied west bank reading, the palestinian flag could get you shot or arrested after the also ports of the 990 s between the palestine liberation organization. and israel bound on the palestinian flag was put on the ground. it's becoming much harder to express any

type of support for the palestinian call. one day there are no palestinian flag. the neck that's 3 are filled with it's a really like to your neck. boy young men were not even born. when do you really government for the delay or the palestinian flag in need to talk to al jazeera, we are. so the rebound you speak off is clearly kind of get a high cost for airlines and the industry, what's going wrong? we listen, you were part of the arm struggle in the $19.00 seventy's if you have any regrets. you know, we meet with global news makers. i'm talk about the store restock matter on al jazeera setting, the discussion. i'd love to see every time there was an attack on a mosque all the right wing organization saying, we don't approve of this. examining the headline. this court is a political court that is making political decisions, explorer, and abundance of world class programming, designed to inform,

the biggest period i want to cry is crowd of people on the street motivate. and in 5 years, he's opening an area that a blind person never thought they can do. on al jazeera, new voices heating up the airway. lot of chinese listeners with, kimberly feel, but i really think in their own country shifting power of a case, the rise of citizen journalism has changed everything. how do happen? it happened on social media and the undeniable impact of the mainstream narrative australian point to the poll with those images front of mine is a war that very much came forth out in the media as well as on the battlefield. the listening post. dissect the media on our we understand the differences of cultures across the world. so no matter what moves here with news and kind of pause that matter to you. ah.
