Summary: | "The Politics of South African Football is a literary account of the political arena of football and opens on that glorious day on Saturday 15th May when South Africa won the Right to host the World at the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The Politics of South African Football is South Africa's story of the road that lead to hosting the FIFA 2010 World Cup and the people whose vehement resistance and declaration that 'there could be no normal sport in an abnormal society' proved a powerful antidote to assurances by government that all was well"--Bookseller's website. |
