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 lead 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 wrangle lines. it's packed with world class players. start like start your money and evidence interest to get all products of sin and goes own youth academies. other players also have plenty of experience like goalkeeper, edward mandy or defender kelly. do cooley barley? can you see my screen for me know each other?

we are family. the objective was to build if you like s semi galleys club. so we have succeeded with national team, where the boys come here and really feel at home. katara will be synagogues, 3rd world cup. so can the f gone champion surprised the competition and usher in a new era of african football and emergent for in 2020 to one of the contin really the work of the things milton or the africans with of the possible. but also, although they don't discount, but also the term from could we say what is happening enough that i have to go there with well, i am optimistic that this indeed is the time for africa i'm going in. so of course i hope garner wins it. but hey, seem africa all day,

i support all of them. one of the other teams represents in the continent and katara is coming soon. they have a tradition of clean, one final friendly games at home. before every world cup, we were the gaming yolande, and asked fans what the expect from the upcoming competition. ah ah don't pump i look, you're welcome the session about a wildcard takes place under peach by this means despite their predictions upon their reality on the field is the real deal. cannot a beggar much ready sunset up off? i said it is not so easy. little money, every one wants to win the world cup. magellan said too much of a guy we might get, 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. was it wow, no doubt. when i did not, i am hoping that come a routine will succeed because they have proven to us that he can play well. but is just one issue we're going to come to live there should be entertaining as call loss of goes for us. been what you have been one man, this thing is not easy. but hey, i hope the blacks 1000 gonna come contribution to the affair. sales scoring goals. that's what we all looking forward to that they are back in the walk up after missing out on the last edition in russia. or guardians, expect nothing, or the best from the 18 emanuel olajuwon. they do plead for gonna add a 2014 world cup in brazil. he spoke to our correspondent isaac ology in craig, ghana. thank you so much member id with thanks for appearing on the 7 for the best thing to be. thank you for i remember you have been out the walk up before. what

does it mean for african play is to play at a walk up, i think did the highest engine in football. and as a football does, every football is really to be debt to wouldn't had this kind of put them in. so it's always great when you get that opportunity and a chance to represent your country. fortunately, if we want to sin and you have a lot of quality players, so if you're selected to be there to represent your country, it's a plus for your korea 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 going to play that will come between $214.00. how would the food light 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 ok. do that maybe with my face ever going to walk up fortunately. i good. did you denise to quit in 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 and you for me and i went to, to raise it, wouldn't this which i meant. and i was very happy to be there, 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 a 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 changing a lot of player change in a lot of case and it is one, but 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 cause, when to come to set pieces, if is a key, what are the things,

do you think i needed to better the chances of african teams? well, i use it much, much 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 to before did they have a give then everybody goes. you may call the tim back, then some will get injured, you will not get them back. so a lot of questions wise, it's always difficult to get there. 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 spit in this. he has walked up the plane also into tournaments alongside other for african nations. which of these teams will fact i'm calling for the gun on synagogue? i think you have the capability and the determination to go through and to quote surprises and just woke up. why do you see for why when you look at this thing, they got all round perfect. you have we're going to quit from what i said. yes. so

he knew the kind of place it's working with. he knows the kind of work with them for long and they have this kind of question the comfort each other on this thought . you have a lot of quality in high profile, a leaks in europe. so they just wonder african nations have boise more up, which of them you think will go very far while it might go to your taking after you you know, on the 24th, you have a game against sport to go then 28 against that who read in your tucker 22nd december, i guess your glass. so i think of the game. if you were to pass through the group, then i can go to the refund. it's in a synagogue yet they have everything to go to semi find us and i tip them. if even not semi find us dick it will say to the group to was 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 going past 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 an immune ex alfonso davies was born and gone out to like berry and parents who fled the civil war back home. but if a speck that to represent canada where he has lived since the age of 6, from the refugee camp to the weld copying katara, this is the impressive journey of our fossil davis by and me next, our 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. both you was

immediately impressed by his talent. honda was a great leader on and off the fuel. what impressed me the most all was on his ability on the ball. his 1st touch with everyone sees is hates, everyone sees isn't what it is. but i think what separates him from a read, his ability to crumble that which is a technical ability on the ball. and the prodigy had early dreams. why wasn't both to reach professional level? and probably told the pros by 15 he turned pro, became a canadian citizen, j as belong i fling a war, i live in a refugee camp. and then coming to canada is,

is what we were journeying as a family. german club by and munich signed a talent, a teenager in 2019. the 1st couple, 1000 bind, you know, is 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, though from walcross players now and established by and starter. he's already won every major club trophy, including the champions league. so the next step is re present in canada at the world cup in touch with all the best our phone. so davies, it's quite surprising that his country of origin liberia produced africa fast si, fi, well play of the. yeah. which was one by george. where in 1995 by the national team has never qualified for the fif wildcard. interesting, isn't it?

now, hardly any world capitalist nation has been as controversial in the past few years . i've gotta rights groups have slammed the emeralds for its treatment of migrant workers. it's recalled on women's rights and the rights of korea. people. even themes participating in the world cup have criticized katara. we take a look at 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 general supposed to take it away from you. you know, that is wrong. a job in catch up, the initial hosting, the upcoming soccer well cap. an enticing prospect for millions 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 any rate. i know it's stuff that was what

malcolm be dally thought and before becoming a migrant activist, the king of national walked as a security guard for 3 years in cut up 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. i'm trying to just see for yourself. this footage was sent to d. w by edwin, a king 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. 7 people in 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 may put your mor bang for the recording would. if something happens, you don't have to, and then 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 and of the employer in neighboring bahrain. together they

found it in a robi based organization, migrant defenders. humans, i've been migrating ever since the dawn of time. so i'm not disputing 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, inform the public inform stakeholders inform, you know, all the things, keep it out there, you know, just information, inflammation, inflammation. and malcolm means inflammation like this. to be allowed to enter cutter for him. walk has need a local sponsor. usually that's the employer. as a sponsor, the employ the time is the right of every migrant to leave and walk in the country . often, employers even confiscate the work of passports. while cotton has reformed its labor laws in recent years, this form of control over its work of is still widely practiced. but in kenya, malcolm and ida 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 the want to help migrants and be to me, navigate the challenges they face you can just like it, like with the hot vandal back and all that. if you do nothing, the situation remains the same. both human rights groups and football associations have called on the fun 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 doc side of the competition. it takes a bit of the excitement away, but i'll tell you which team is very excited to play football,

ganeth national. i'm kids eating. they of course not planing katara, but they do not allow the disability to hold them back in any way. and there's one thing bothering them. they want the same attention as ganeth able body team, the black stars and donna, it's an african football par house. the sport is bleeding 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 finding something nice now with a bentley? no sound. 2007 were 2 continental titles and several ward 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 terms of neo rwanda 1st

made an uncle creek up in africa. we went through, i didn't know we, i do prayers, africa, country qualified to this in the final. but how is the sport played? coach benjamin alma helps us break it down with a different museum with the football and a bow. football. no muffled ball. we are all side. what i'm putting for though we don't are off site and i'm good if we're boys is every are side game is no contact sports. as i said, yes i do. but no, my game is living in our truant window. bullshit. don't fool with our hands. it really, i lay by intentionally them board patches. they're gorgeous. are you the accord? you can be a wall is foul and in place. now, if you lose your uncompleted leg to king,

their ball is foul. does to keep things fair because what remains of athletes amputated lamps are all of different lengths on monday of ability to qualify for the team. players. legs must be removed, at least above the knee, except for the goalie of course, who instead is missing and, and all play without a help of prosthesis or amplitude. i don't mean that all of us have any left leg or right leg. some is right. um it's live waived by a pair of shoes you have to share with your friend revoke on through the one hour. some old hometown of a breach in carnis eastern region, as known for its master wood 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. when 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 so stress good as what out soon it them ice cream. but so most pride in his work, his lives with a bitterness for he sees as a lack of institutional and financial support for the sport in favor of gunners. better known a board body national team, the blast us and we sent yes. the amplitude team has faced funding issues which resulted in unpaid flight tickets and ultimately at band from the international amputee football configuration. for arriving late to the walk up, the government is not putting in the air force. in the amplitude, all the attention or the media, everything is on the glass that lead june on it. good picture of what would jesse everything quality that we are clued by everything i felt really good when you set

out room in the god condition group as all together. well, we are all nice now, i think despite the challenges the team remains optimistic about the future of your spot in the country, with hopes for their next trophy grew in with each new recruit. some of them will come play. i feel you complete my advice to my fellow disabled ganna is that all your work? if you are in trouble, i don't mean that you can do in your head is dead. the ice idea, you know, side to your hands for you. so i'm pleading, i'm pleading, i'm pleading everybody who's a disabled if you don't have anything to do, you can count the a book you know, have the same goals. this ability is not in ability. let that encourage you to face life had on. now a big chunk of the show has focused on the fif of world cup not to be besides,

we've been talking about the mens football wildcat. there is also the woman's fashion, which will kick off in 2023 with teams like africa by now. i banana zambia 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 of the sheet that as referees and the 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. the only out of 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 of why it's not easy to face the public, the players and the managers adobe retail making. it takes a lot of courage to bury in the court. as in bob blake was his point 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 in fi. yes, francisco, marcello is one of my sources of inspiration at each with asking you. her mental francisco meets no convincing that women make excellent referees look at any kind of working class men and women. we are not sexist. we also work with gauss,
