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 squad, and nicknamed the to wrangle lines. it's packed with world class players. start like side 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, edgewater, mandy, or defend cali, do really bodies. senior thing for me,

nor each other. we our family. the objective was to build if you like, estimate galleys club. so we have succeeded national team where boys come here and really feel at home. the cattle will be sent at golf 3rd world cup. so can the f gone champion, surprise the competition and asha in a new era of africa? football. i imagine in 2020 to one of the contin windsor, the work of the things newton or the africa visit or for the local book. but also although agenda scarves, 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 world cup. we went to the gaming yolande, and asked fans what the expect from the upcoming competition. ah, ah, don't pump i look when you're welcome the session about a wildcard takes place under peach by this means despite their predictions that the reality on the field is a real deal or to know to better much where the sun set up off. i said it is not so easy. every one was to win the world cup, modulated to the want to have a guy. we market, 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 know, i'm hoping that come a routine will succeed because they have proven to us that he can't play well. but it's just one issue was i don't do this should be entertaining as call loss of goes for us. been what you have been for man, this thing is not easy. but hey, i hope the black spouse of ghana can contribute to the fast sale 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 of the best, but we are team emmanuel, i demand they do played forgotten at a 2014 world cup in brazil. he spoke to our correspondent isaac alleged in a crowd gonna thank you so much member id with thanks for appearing on that 77

percent of the 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 and a chance to represent your country. fortunately, if we want ition and you have a lot of quality players, so if you are 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 i played i woke up 2014. how was the food light for you? because all your 1st time playing i woke up. yes. i had a sad moment. 2010, qualify as, as 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 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 raise 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 changing a lot of player change in a lot of taste, and it is one by the key factor of this is 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 it's a key, what are the things,

do you think i needed to better the chances of african teams? is it good? 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 them. and i start to come like 3 or 4. did they give? 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 gonna spit in this year's walk up the plane also in the tournament, alongside for african nations. which of these teams will fact? i'm following for going 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 cisco? why when you look at this thing,

i got him all round. perfect. you have work 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 come for each other on this thought. you have a lot of quality that in high profile and a leaks in europe. so they just want to, i forgot nations have boise more up. which of them you think will go very far while it might actually taking you after you, you know, on the 24th, you have a game against sport to go then 28 against that will read in your tucker 22nd december against your glass. so if you think of the game, if you were to pass through the group, going to can go to semi find the synagogue yet to 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 it, 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 recon jenks and go and pass the quote of 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 library and parents who slept 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 wild, copping katara. this is the impressive journey of alfonso davies. 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 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 rad 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 with by 15 he turned pro became a canadian citizen. daniel, the long i fling a war i live in 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 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. i learned from the experienced players there from war clusters. now an 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 see far, well play of the year, which was won by george. where 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 catan rights groups have slammed the emirates for its treatment of migrant workers. it's recalled on women's rights and the rights of korea, people even teams participating in the world cup have criticized katara. we take a look at what the situation is really like 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 caught 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. dolly

thought and before becoming a migrant activist, the kids national wacked as a security guard for 3 years in cutout because he complained about the full living and working conditions on social media. youth 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 see for yourself, this is katasha. look, this is my grandpa because i'm 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. after all, expressing 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 all belongings. you're cooking utensils, your clothes, everything you have in this room. you will see cockroaches at nights looking around

and your food in there. it's not healthy. edwin has been working as the guardian, the residential complex indic atari capital don't have for 3 years. a shift last 12 hours in audio messages. 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 next level, he tells you you have to leave the following extra charges. because they know you might put your mor bang for the recording would. if something happens, you don't have that. he tells you you have to be, which is illegal. stories like these and 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. for example, humans, i've been migrating ever since the dawn of time. so i'm not dissuading 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 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 in the country. often, employers even confiscate their work of passport. while cotton has reformed its labor laws in recent years, this form of control over its workers is still widely practiced.

back in kenya, malcolm and i'd, i have big plans for the future. they want to combine efforts with other people to sat in groups and lobby governments, both at home and abroad. plus they want to help migrants and be to nice not to get the challenges they face even just like it's like with, with the husband back and all that. if you do nothing, the situation remains the same. both human rights groups and football associations have called on fi fun and catan to set up a fans 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 national, 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 tension of ganeth able bodied team. the blacks us 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 m. i'm come, oh, quite afraid we are there finding something nice now looking at that cleaned is nice. now to consume 2007 with 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 tulsa, nea rwanda. first made an uncle creek up in africa. we went through, i didn't know we, i did, chris africa, country qualified to this in your final. but how is the sport played? coach bench? i'm in, i'm a helps us break it down with a different museum. but if we bow and a bow football, no muffled ball, we are all side. while i'm putting food are we don't, are off site and i'm putting food was, is every aside, game is no contest. sports is as easy as i game. but no, my game is living in our true in wonder boston fool will don't fool with our hand it really? i late by intentionally deb board patches. they're gorgeous or you go could you, can you there ball is foul. and in days now,

if you lose your uncompleted leg to king, dable is foul. thus, to keep things fair, because what remains of athletes amputated limbs 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 miss an an m. all play without a help of prosthesis. we are all empathy. i don't mean that all of us have any left leg or right late thumb is right. um it's live driven by a pair of shoes you have to share with your friend we were gone through though. i know some old hometown of a breach in candice easton region is known for his 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. when i have the wood in my hand,

sometimes my brill teaching war to draw something forward. do their shipper, boom, come north. whenever i am carbon, i don't feel stress good as what out? oh, so anytime i was clean. but some most pride in his work as lives with a bitterness for he sees as a lack of institutional and financial support for the sport in favor of gunners. better known, able bodied 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 competition. 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 one day. last that lead june on it. good because we're political. would jesse everything quality our booth crew by

everything i felt we'll get this out room in the body condition group as all together. while we are all national. i think despite the challenges the team remains optimistic about the future of your sport in the country. with hopes for the next trophy grew in with each new recruit. some of them we were we company, i feel you complete my advice to my fellow disabled in ghana that all your world, if you are in trouble, i don't mean that you can do in your head is day. the ice, i day, you know, side to 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't, can't live 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,
