1.2. The Transfer of the players in African football.
The system of transfer is a market structured well by the
sporting organizations. It is thus governed by the combination of the
regulation of the FIFA and that of each continental confederation which is
members.
If, in Africa, payments of the African Confederation of
football, CIF, and those of each national federation ensure the regulation of
this system, it should not however be forgotten that the market of the
transfers is often extraverti and especially carried out by persons in charge
for the teams and federations in a fraudulent way, with such sign that the
allowances of transfer really do not benefit the teams to which the players
thus transferred had belonged.
In Democratic Republic of Congo, the transactions of the
illicit transfers, and the following which the State is seriously floué,
are frequent and, unfortunately difficult to stop. We want some for proof, this
information brought back by the newspaper the Future, daily kinois, relating to
the Congolese players, formerly transferred in the Belgian club from Lokeren.
«From quite informed source, one learns that three Congolese, in fact MP,
JL and PM was presented at the seat of Football Lokeren Club, formation
evolving/moving in the first division in Belgium, to try to finalize the
transfer of the player Bwayi Kidoda, member of the FC Union Bilombe de
Kinshasa, of which they pass for managers. The president of the Belgian club
naturally returned three Congolese to regulate their dispute elsewhere,
question which they agree before returning to him. One up to that point does
not know the name of that which withdrew the money of Bwayi. »
(Future of December 09, 1999).
Even if, on the continent, high level football tends to be
aligned on the European model dominating, hyper professional, it is initially
the most popular sport and more practiced in all Africa.
As in Europe, football is there initially a passion of
children and teenagers for the play without constraints, in the laughter and
the cries, a way of living and of killing time with the manner of young
Senegalese of film of Christine Eymerie (the Voyage of Baba). The conditions of
exercise change. On a side, pleasing stages, traced and rolled lawns, cages
equipped with nets, regulation uniforms and clean cloakrooms ; other,
waste grounds, stony and dusty, with the dubious limits quickly overflowed by
the public, with the rafistolés goals, where one juggles and dribble
naked feet or with only one shoe. The insane ones of balloon play of the hours,
until exhaustion, passing from a match to another. It is there, in the football
of the districts, that the seedbeds of African virtuosos are. The Ghanaian
Anthony YEBOAH, one of the stars of the English club Leeds United, remembers
that, when it had ten years, it sometimes happened to him to play six matches
in the same day, until the evening, energy from one team and one district to
another (Africa Football, 1995, p. 27).
