KIT Publishers Africa United: The Road to Twenty Ten
Book SynopsisIn June 2010, South Africa is the platform for the biggest event that has ever taken place on the African continent: the football World Cup. In the run-up to the World Cup and during the event, Africa will be centre stage for a while instead of being forgotten. This book follows a football-mad continent on the road to this World Cup. It is a book of stories, primarily by African journalists and photographers, about the love of football. It shows Africa as we rarely see it: as a continent bubbling over with talent, ambition and opportunities. As well as highlighting the love of football itself, the book also pays a close attention to the social significance of football in Africa. Sporting successes create a feeling of dignity and pride in people, and the passion for football can bind them together, even in wartime. You will meet football-mad presidents, read about how the great Ethiopian athlete Haile Gebrselassie loves the game, the roles that Didier Drogba and George Weah played in bringing peace to the Ivory Coast and Liberia, and how young talents at a Ghanaian football academy are preparing for an international sporting career. Stars such as Michael Essien and Salomon Kalou speak out too, of course. The book also offers a perspective on the African style of play, reconstructs historic footballing events and above all shows the strength of a continent that is on the way to one of the high points in its history.

The American University in Cairo Press Cairo's Ultras: Resistance and Revolution in
Book SynopsisThe history of Cairo’s football fans is one of the most poignant narratives of the 25 January 2011 Egyptian uprising. The Ultras Al-Ahly and the Ultras White Knights fans, belonging to the two main teams, Al-Ahly F.C. and Zamalek F.C respectively, became embroiled in the street protests that brought down the Mubarak regime. In the violent turmoil since, the Ultras have been locked in a bitter conflict with the Egyptian security state. Tracing these social movements to explore their role in the uprising and the political dimension of soccer in Egypt, Ronnie Close provides a vivid, intimate sense of the Ultras’ unique subculture. Cairo’s Ultras: Resistance and Revolution in Egypt’s Football Culture explores how football communities offer ways of belonging and instill meaning in everyday life. Close asks us to rethink the labels ‘fans’ or ‘hooligans’ and what such terms might really mean. He argues that the role of the body is essential to understanding the cultural practices of the Cairo Ultras, and that the physicality of the stadium rituals and acerbic chants were key expressions that resonated with many Egyptians. Along the way, the book skewers media clichés and retraces revolutionary politics and social networks to consider the capacity of sport to emancipate through performances on the football terraces.Trade Review"Recommended"—CHOICE"Close paints an evocative portrait of the varied and ambiguous roles sports can play in an autocracy, where a regime’s reliance on bread and circuses may eventually wear thin in the absence of genuine progress."—Lisa Anderson, Foreign Affairs“The issues in this book are at the core of sport sociology, cultural studies and sports media communication. I salute the author for bringing into the analysis both the traditional mainstream and digital social media. . . . The book is critical as it revisits debates on gender, masculinity and political discourse in African football fandom and protest cultures, illuminating how gender equality remains an unsolved question in Egypt.” —Lyton Ncube, Critical Arts"[Ronnie Close] offers a rich and often fascinating account of how the two main Cairene ultra groups (Ultras Ahlawy and Ultras White Knights) have fared from the revolution until their ‘official disbandment’ in 2018. . . .not to be missed for anyone working on the Ultras in Egypt for some time to come."—Asian Journal of Sport History & Culture“This is a lively and authoritative account of the counter-culture of the Egyptian Ultras, full of richly detailed observations of their collective behavior, their aesthetic, and their performances. It is also much more than this. It is a study of resistance to the forms of power of late capitalism. Ronnie Close succeeds in using this material to develop a convincing and original argument about the force of the aesthetic moment and of collective action to challenge and to disrupt hegemonic power.” —Charles Tripp, Professor Emeritus of Politics, SOAS, University of London“A timely and detailed account of the birth, life and afterlife of one of Egypt’s most important youth movements. Cairo’s Ultras tells a tale of triumph and turmoil revealing how the Ultras bridged leisure and politics to pose as much of a threat to Egypt’s militarised police-state as it did to its sports establishment and football big-business. Historically rich and theoretically compelling, this is a must read for anyone interested in Egyptian youth cultures.”—Ramy Aly, The American University in Cairo“Of all the events that occurred during the recent Egyptian Revolution and its aftermath, few were more horrifying than the February 2012 massacre of more than seventy Ultras Ahlawy football fans following a match in Port Said. Ronnie Close knows many of the club members personally, and with the help of these connections he records an important story for posterity. He also offers a daring assessment of Egypt’s present-day political landscape.”—Graham Harman, SCI-Arc, Los AngelesTable of ContentsCONTENTSAcknowledgments viiIntroduction 11.

World Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd Uncle Choo: Singapore's Greatest Football Coach
Book SynopsisChoo Seng Quee is arguably Singapore's greatest football coach. He brought Singapore football to great heights, especially during the 1970s. This larger-than-life footballing icon had already made a name for himself as a no-nonsense defender during the 1930s helping Singapore win the Malaya Cup on two occasions.World War II disrupted his promising playing career, and after the war, he switched to coaching. In a coaching career spanning almost 30 years, he had several spells as coach of the Singapore national team (in addition to also coaching the Malaysian and Indonesian teams). Though his coaching methods were 'old school', based on hard work and discipline, success followed him wherever he went.His brash manner, unfortunately, did not endear well with the powers who ran the Singapore Amateur Football Association (SAFA), a predecessor of the Football Association of Singapore (FAS). This led him being thrown into football wilderness on several occasions. But that did not stop him from progressing in his coaching career. The football administrators from Malaysia and Indonesia took advantage of these moments of 'unemployment' by offering him financially attractive contracts to coach their respective teams, leading to years of success while Choo Seng Quee was at the helm.This is the incredible story of this legend known to many as simply 'Uncle Choo' who instilled a sense of patriotism in his players. To him, wearing the Singapore jersey was a badge of honour.
