It is true that the poverty of the continent fatally reflects
on all the social organizations y established. The clubs of football, in
Africa, do not escape from it. The majority of them are non-profit-making
associations. Their principal incomes come from or the gift State grants of
certain skilful economic operators. The sale of the tickets, the placement or
the merchandizing pay very little to these teams. Seldom, the transfers of
better their players profit to them.
The players do not have the same marginal utility as
everywhere in Europe. They can not be paid, because, the leaders think that the
player of a large team seeks initially success. They are involved with clothing
of fortune which always does not translate the real state of finances of the
team.
It is frequent that the teams engaged in the national or
African competitions do not move, for lack of money to pay tickets of plane.
Per moment, the leaders become about it owners from the point of view of
benefit only in the event of a juicy transfer from it. Description can be even
longer. What is true for the clubs, is also for the national federations.
Managed in majority by people with doubtful manners, the
national federations of African football quickly rocked in place of influence
to be able it in place. It is enough to observe the fight for the succession
with the head of a federation like that to football. It is not only rough, but
also tearing and nauseating at the same time. Through the complete reading of
this study, it is permissible to know some, partly, the lower parts of the
tables. This thus pushes us to insufflate a new way of as well directing the
clubs as the federations so that economic internationalization of football serf
not of them like a source of fortune for the clubs firms without equitable
counterpart to these clubs partners or subsidiary companies. First of all, it
should be admitted that on the level of the clubs entered alliances with
foreign partners, the budgets are not overdrawn any more. In the case of GBA,
the importance of the acquisition of a holding of Ajax are understood as an
oxygen puff that sought GBA so much. « The club of the from Antwerp
metropolis knew serious financial problems and will be able to thus count on
the financial support of Dutch general public. The 120 million liability which
the Germinal one knew will be compensated by the sales of Snonck Moons and the
contribution of new capital. »

It goes without saying that, like in the case of multinational
corporation, the new contributions which they bring in the new manufacturing
units play an often positive part there.
Also, in order to ensure the best followed management of the
agreements and their repercussions financial, the clubs will have to be managed
like trade undertakings. So that the leader to the player, everyone feels
concerned by the life of the club, i.e., it is regarded from now on as a true
company obeying the economic laws and principles. With such an evolution, the
modes of financing of the clubs firms will be able to produce the same effects
with the local clubs. Those could become truths places of recruiting for tens,
even of hundreds of unemployeds.
