current, african champions, cynical. we have an experience coach and talent at squad, and the might just shop the competition. in katara. he is synagogue the secret favorite for this year's football world cup. back in january, they won the africa cup of nations in 2002, a coach l u c. se led senegal to the quarter finals that their 1st ever will come back then. his team be defending champions, france $10.00 nowadays the senate goes longer serving national team coach is quite nicknamed to wrangell lines. it's packed with world class players. start like study money and evidence interest to get all products of sin and goes own youth academies . other players also have plenty of experience like goalkeeper, edge wide mandy or defend cali. do really bodies was quite easy for me, nor each other. we our family. the objective was to build if you like ethnic alleys

club. so we have succeeded at national team where boys come here and really feel at home. the cattle will be senate golf, 3rd world cup. so can the f gone champion surprised the competition and in a new era of africa football? ah, imagine it's 2020 to one of the contin windsor the the work of the things newton or the africa visit or for the local book. but also although agenda scout, but also the attempted to say what is happening enough that i'd have to go there. good with that. well, i am optimistic that this indeed is that time for africa i'm going in, so of course i hope gonna wince it. but hey, seem africa all day,

i support all of them. one of the other teams represents in the continent and guitar is coming soon. they have a tradition of clean one final friendly game that home. before every well cut. we went to the gaming yolande and asked fans what the. busy expect from the upcoming competition. ah ah don't don't by looking you're welcome decision about a walcott takes place under peach by this means despite the predictions of their reality on the field, is the real deal to know to beg a much where the sun set up a fight, it is not so easy, every one was to win the world cup. magellan said to to what you but guy, we, my god, i believe the africans will do well and have every chance of winning the world cup ball. we are praying to god for success going forward and we're keeping our fingers

crossed. yes. was it. wow. and i don't wanna get on it. i'm hoping that come a routine will succeed because they have proven to us that he can play well. but it's just one issue we got to come to live. there should be entertaining as call loss of goes for us. been what you have been for and this thing is not easy. but hey, i hope the black files have gotten a can contribute to the fast sale scoring goals. that's what we all looking forward to get. they are back in the walk up after missing out on the last edition in russia. or guardians, expect nothing of the best of the tea. emanuel lads, mom, they do play, forgot to add a 2014 world cup. in brazil, he spoke to our correspondents, isaac, alleged in a crowd gonna thank you so much member id with thanks for appearing on that 7 for the best thing to do. thank you for i remember you have been out the walk up before

. what does it mean for african play is to play. i did walk up, i think did the highest engine in football. and i say, as a football does, every football is really to be debt to witness this kind of put them in. so it's always great when you get the opportunity to and a chance to represent your country. fortunately, if we want ition and you have a lot of quality players, so if you're selected to be there to represent your country, it's a plan for your career and to move yourself proud your family proud and to make the nation proud. so he's always good to be selected and you play that and the last time cannot played. i woke up 2014. how would the food like for you? because all your 1st time playing i woke up. yes. i had a sad moment. 2010 qualify. as i was quite a lot of go, so i was in great form. i thought okay, do that maybe with my face ever got up woke up unfortunately. i good. did you

denise? i couldn't and i say ok, i'm still young. i have time. so let me just wait for the opportunity. gradually i worked very hard and 2014 was which energy for me and i went to to rise. it wouldn't this which i meant. and i was very happy to be at least in my area. i can be proud of myself that i have also tested their work up, so it was a good moment. why is it difficult for the african teams to win this trophy for the system of players to the national team? i think it's one you don't have patience would you place too much your and get this kind of courage, determination to be obvious. and we keep tinge in a lot of player change in a lot of case. and it is one by the key factor of this is set pieces and i have, have witnessed a lot of the games i have been day. and if you see how we lose, for course, when you go to set pieces, if is a key, what are the things,

do you think i needed to better the chances of african teams? is him good much, nothing is more like a club site that you get the place to train every day. so you can have this kind of bond with with them. and i start to come like before, did they have a game then everybody goes. you may call the tim back then, so we get injured, you will not get them back. so a lot of cohesive wise is always, you've got to get them. so you need to georgia, utilize the use of content. you 20 the look on teams so that you can get a lot of the guys from the youth, 17 world going to it's more to speak in this years. walk up the plane also in the tournament, alongside out of for african nations. which of these teams will fact i'm calling for guy, nonsense golf. i think you have the capability and the determination to go through and to quote surprises and just woke up. why do you see why when you look at this thing that got him all round. perfect,

you have worked with the quiz for what i said. yes. so he know the kind of place it's working with. he knows the kind of work we've done for long and the have this kind of question, the comfort each other on this thought to have a lot of quality that in high profile a leaks in europe. so they just want to, i forgot nations have boise on what more up which of them you think will go very far. well, it might actually taking after again, you know, on the 24th you have a game against put together then 28 against that could read in your tucker 22nd december i guess, year ago. so i think of the game, if you were to pass through the group, going to go to semi final it's in a synagogue, yet they have everything to go to semi find us. and i tip them. if even though to

me find us, dick, it will say to the group, to what distance do you mind me do. thanks for speaking to 77 percent. sure, thank you very much. is a pleasure. okie dokie. so he believes god and cynical have a good chance of breaking the jinks and go and pass the quarter final stage. i'll bet my money on back to. now let's shift our attention to some players of african origin who are playing for other countries by immune ex alfonso davies was born and gone out to library and parents who fled the civil war back home. but if a speck that to represents canada, where he has lived since the age of 6, from the refugee camp to the weld, copping katara. this is the impressive journey of our fossil davis by and me next are alfonso davis, is about to take the world's biggest stage. he thought, world cup 122 years ago as a librarian, refugee in ghana, his family settled in canada. when alfonso was 6, he 1st began playing football at school,

and his coach michael boss. you was immediately impressed by his talent bongo as a, you know, a great leader on and off the feel. what impressed me the most all was his ability on the ball. his 1st touch with everyone sees his face. everyone sees is athleticism. but i think what separates him from a rad his ability to crumble that which is a technical ability on the ball. and the prodigy had early dreams. why wasn't boy to reach professional level? and probably told the pros by 15 he turned pro, became a canadian citizen. daniels belong and fling a war. i live in a refugee camp and then coming to canada is,

is what we were in germany as a family. german club by and munich signed a talented teenager in 2019 the 1st couple months i was in by and, and it was a learning experience for me and you know, just trying to soaking everything. because being a young player, i knew that i wasn't going to really be in the team right away. learned from the experienced players there from war clusters. now an established by and starter. he's already one every major club trophy, including the champions league. so the next step is re presenting canada at the world cup in touch. with all the best, alphonso davies. it's quite surprising that his country of origin liberia produced africa fast see far, well play of the year, which was won by george ware in 1995. but the national team has never qualified for the fif wildcard. interesting, isn't it?

now, hardly any world capitals nation has been as controversial in the past few years. as katara rights groups have slammed the emirates for its treatment of migrant workers. it's recalled on women's rights on the rights of korea. people. even teams participating in the world cup have criticized katara. we pick a look up what the situation is really life for africans working in kata. you are allowed, or you are supposed to have your passport review your phone. and they're not supposed to take it away from you. you know, that is wrong. a job in cut up the initial hosting, the upcoming soccer well, cap. an enticing prospect for mediums of migrant workers from the global south. because you're struggling to make ends meet at home. they're trying to lock into tiny persian gulf amy rate and stuff. that was what malcolm be. dally

thought and before becoming a migrant activist, the king of national white as a security guard for 3 years in khattab. because he complained about the full living and working conditions on social media. he was arrested and detained for a month in adult jail. and malcolm isn't the only one trying to raise the alarm. ah, so you can just be for yourself. this is katasha. look, this is my grandfather was trying to just see for yourself. this footage was sent to d. w by edwin, a king and migrant walker in durham. we've changed his name and his words are spoken by an actor of the role expressed in critical views can be dangerous. we can't verify his claims, but they chime with other accounts. 70 pulling this model at all. you have you follow belongings. you're cooking utensils, your clothes, everything you have in this room. you will see cockroaches at nights walking around

and your food is there. it's not healthy. edwin has been working as a guardian, the residential complex indic atari capital don't have for 3 years. a shift last 12 hours in audio messages. and it tells us how his boss blackmailed him when he wanted to change jobs. he wanted him to pay 1000 euros to get his passport back. when you go inside the neck doesn't he tells you you have to leave the following the secretary because they know you might put your mor bang for your credit card. if something happens, you don't have that. he tells you you have to be, which is illegal. stories like these are no surprise to malcolm and his colleague ida, molly, who experienced abuse under the employer enabling bahrain together,

they founded in a row be based organization, migrant defenders. humans, i've been migrating ever since the dawn of time. so i'm not defending anyone from traveling. what we are trying to do is to kind of put in place like ethical migration. we would use campaigns and advocacy, you know, in from the public inform stakeholders inform in all the things, keep it out there, you know, just information, inflammation information. and malcolm means inflammation like this to be allowed to enter cutter for in work has need a local sponsor, usually that the employer, as a sponsor, the employ determines the right of every migrant to leave and walk into country. often employ of even countries kept the work of passport, while cotton has reformed its labor, lowes in recent years, this form of control over its work of is still widely practiced but in kenya, malcolm and i have big plans for the future. they want to combine efforts with

other people. so sat in groups and lobby governments, both at home and abroad. plus they want to help migrants and we to nice not to get the challenges they face depend just like it's like with hogs, vandal back and all that. if you do nothing, the situation remains the same. both human rights groups and football associations have called on fi fi and catan to set up a funds for gift workers. but so far that demand has been denied. i you know, it's quite sad if people have to literally break the backs and lose their lives in the process of trying to make the world company reality. we definitely have to get to the bottom of this very dark side of the competition. it takes a bit of the excitement away and i'll tell you which team is very excited to play

football, ganeth nashville i can see team they of course not planing katara, but the do not allow the disability to hold them back in any way. that's one thing, one of them, they want to see my attention of gun as able bodied teen. the black stuff donna, it's an african football par. how's the sport displayed in towns and villages all across the country by place with 2 feet. and by those with only one come come, oh, quite afraid we are there fonder, something nice. now i'm looking at that please national to continue 2007 with 2 continental titles and several world cup appearances. the national team has had quite some success in 2021. they want kind of the cup of african nations in

empathy. football in tulsa, nea rwanda. first made an article creek up in africa. we went through, i didn't know we, i did quiz africa, country qualified to this and were final. but how is a sport played? coach benjamin alma helps us break it down with a different museum, putting football and a bow football. no muffled ball. we are all side by dump with the floor. we don't are off site and i'm with you for guys is every are side game is no contact. sports is as a sub game, but no. my game is living in our truant window. bullshit. we don't fool with our hands. we really are late right? there is another deb board touching their gorgeous oh you the quote you can be a ball is foul and in phase. now if you lose your uncompleted leg to kinda

a ball is foul. thus to keep things fair, because what remains of athletes amputated limbs are all of different lengths and maneuverability to qualify for the team. players legs must be removed, at least above the knee, except for the gully, of course, who instead is missing an am. oh play without a help of prosthesis or amplitude. rather than on mean that all of us have any left leg or rightly thumb is right. thumb is live driven by a pair of shoes you have to share with your friend revoke on through the one on some old hometown of a breach in goddess eastern region, as known for its master would covers after losing his leg in an accident as a child he land a craft as a way to survive to day. it's what sustains him. and i have the wood in my hand.

sometimes my brain will teach more to draw something forward to the ship or boom, come north. whenever i am carbon, i don't feel stress. good as what out anytime i see. but so most pride in his work is less with a bitterness for he sees as a lack of institutional and financial support for the sport in favor of gun is better known, a board body national team, the black stars. in recent years, the amplitude team has faced funding issues which resulted in unpaid flight tickets and ultimately a band from the international amputee football configuration. for arriving late to the walt cup, the government is not putting in the air force in the amplitude, all the attention or the media, everything is one day. last that lead june on it. good, good. good, good, good, jesse, everything quality. our book. cool by everything i felt we'll get this out room

in the condition group as all together we're. we're all nice dinner. i think despite the challenges the team remains optimistic about a future of your sport in the country with hopes for the next trophy grow in with each new recruit some of the company. i feel you complete my advice to my fellow disabled in ghana that all your work. if you are in trouble, i don't mean that you can do in your head is day. the ice idea, you know, side. they say you're hinesville you. oh. so i'm kidding. i'm kidding. i'm kidding. everyone who's a disabled if you don't have anything to do, you can call me a book you know, as the scene goals, disability is not in ability. let that encourage you to face life head on. now

a big chunk of the show has focused on the feed thought world cup. not to be precise . we've been talking about the man's football well cap. there is also the woman's fashion, which will kick off in 2023 with teams like so. africa, banana, banana, zombie. nigeria will be holding up the african spirit. now, many young women dream of appreciating a football game on the big stage in the last women's world cup. 7 africans appreciate that. as referees and us sustan's reps in gola, we met some young women who are calling the shots in the local games. small woman football referees, i taking to the field inland golden province of bengal. maria co here is one of the standouts. she's just 22 and a nursing student maria's been on the football pitch for 7 years. and in this match,

she's an assistant referee pennington allowed to with that, as my experience in the world of refereeing is being very good because i'm learning . i'm adapting myself with each passing day. yes. awesome. well, i knew if it's not easy to face the public, the players and the managers at dordy media making. it takes a lot of courage to barry and be quite as him public was. these were that maria knows being a referee is tough, but of fishing, football matches is her dream. one day, maria wants to represent angola and work international fixtures. i me up with my source of inspiration. i have several, for example, my manager, who is the head of referees antique. yes, francisco, marcello is one of my sources of inspiration at each with asking you about. her mental francisco meets no convincing that women make excellent referees look at any kind of working wise men and women. we are not sexist. we also work with gauss,
