Description
Learn about the role of soccer in strengthening South Africa’s towns and village communities. Listen to the experiences of local organizers in this half-day tour through the Camissa Township.
Since hosting the 2010 FIFA World, township communities in South Africa have benefited from new and improved facilities and playing fields.
Today, soccer is the main sport in these communities, and has become a central part of everyday life for local children and teenagers.
After arriving in Camissa Township from Cape Town, it´s time to kick the ball around. Have fun and play a short 30- to 45-minute game with the town’s youth at a newly-installed artificial turf field.
Afterwards, learn about soccer’s history in South Africa, and how the country’s politics have affected the beautiful game over the years. A local guide will take you on a tour through the community and give you an insight of everyday life in the township.
Take the time to have a chat with community members of all ages, and hear about their experiences during the 2010 World Cup, when the eyes of the world were fixed on South Africa.
From there you will board the minibus back to Cape Town, with a new perspective on the impact that soccer can have.
