Abstract
The history of African football begins with Europe. As Paul Darby (2002) points out, football in Africa is undeniably a legacy of colonialism. When football was initially introduced in Africa, the sport was played only by the colonists. Slowly, the game diffused among the local populations. From a historical perspective, Alegi (2010: 3) states that football in Africa started in 1862, and that the first recorded football game was played in South Africa between whites in the Cape and Natal provinces. By the early twentieth century, football was played in Algeria, Egypt, and the Belgian Congo (Leopoldville).KeywordsFootball ClubFootball GameVideo TheaterPremier LeagueLocal GameThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
