Issa Hayatou President of CAF

CAF News - April 2002

SERVING FOOTBALL AND FOOTBALL P LAYERS DIFFERENTLY SERVIR AUTREMENT LE FOOTBALL ET LES FOOTBALLEURS
r Issa Hayatous candidature for the FIFA presidential election was announced officially in Cairo on March 16th, in the presence of Messrs Lennart Johansson, President of UEFA, Oh Wan-kon, vice president of the Korean Football Federation and General Youssef El Dahshoury, President of the Egyptian Football Association. It has surprised and puzzled a great number of observers. For some, it has been seen as quite untimely because the President of CAF had no chance against the current president, Mr Joseph S. Blatter, who is seeking re-election. For others, Mr Hayatous candidature has allegedly been masterminded by European designs and turned up at the most awkward moment because of its unexpected nature. Speculations on the motivations and background of Mr Hayatous candidature did not miss the opportunity to fuel the smedias inspiration. Mr Issa Hayatous move is completely legitimate. Africa is no more a minor continent on the football planet. Its talented children play on all of the worlds football fields. Its representative teams do not miss a single international competition and harvest their laurels there. The institution that administrates its football is praised for its maturity and efficiency. Its administrators take part in FIFAs government where they do not just play walk-on parts but participate fully. Their competence, their loyalty and their devotion are acknowledged. Why then can they not aspire to administrate the supreme authority of football? Since its foundation in 1904, FIFA has been presided for 66 years by Europe and for 24 years by South America. Yet, havent the two hemispheres that adorn FIFAs flag a double symbolic signification? Dont they illustrate the universality of football, of this empire where the sun never sets? Dont they too deny any right of priority to two continents under the pretext that they are the only ones to contest the supremacy of world football? Stating the fact that FIFA has been the exclusive domain of two continents during its 98 years of existence, is already recognising

nnonce officiellement le 16 mars au Caire en prsence de MM. Lennart Johansson, prsident de lUEFA, Oh Wan-kon, vice-prsident de la Fdration corenne de football et du Gnral Yousef El Dahshoury, prsident de lUnion gyptienne de football, la candidature de M. Issa Hayatou llection prsidentielle de la FIFA a surpris et intrigu bon nombre dobservateurs. Pour certains, elle tait fort inopportune parce que le prsident de la CAF navait aucune chance face au titulaire du poste, M. Joseph S. Blatter, candidat sa propre succession. Pour dautres, elle tait tlguide par des desseins europens et elle arrivait comme un cheveu dans la soupe parce quinattendue. Les interrogations et les spculations sur les motivations et les enjeux de cette candidature nont pas manqu dalimenter linspiration des commentateurs spcialiss. La dmarche du prsident Hayatou est parfaitement lgitime. LAfrique nest plus un continent mineur dans la plante foot. Ses enfants dous de la balle voluent sur toutes les pelouses du monde. Ses quipes reprsentatives ne manquent aucune comptition internationale et y cueillent leur tour des lauriers. Linstitution qui gre son football est loue pour sa maturit et son efficience. Ses dirigeants participent pleinement au gouvernement de la FIFA o ils ne se contentent pas de faire de la figuration. Leur comptence, leur loyaut et leur dvouement sont reconnus. Comment ds lors ne peuvent-ils prtendre diriger linstance suprme du football ? Depuis sa fondation en 1904, celle-ci a t prside pendant 66 ans par lEurope et pendant 24 ans par lAmrique du Sud. Les deux hmisphres qui ornent le drapeau de la FIFA nont-ils pas pourtant une signification doublement symbolique ? Nillustrent-ils pas luniversalit du football, de cet empire sur lequel le soleil ne se couche jamais ? Tout comme, ne nient-ils pas tout droit de priorit deux

continents sous prtexte quils sont les seuls se disputer la suprmatie du monde du ballon ? Constater que la FIFA a t durant ses 98 ans dexistence la chasse garde de deux continents, cest en reconnatre les grandes lacunes puisque deux blocs aussi importants par la masse et la population que lAfrique et lAsie se sont contents depuis presque un demi-sicle dy tenir des rles sans consistance. Certes on peut parler de dveloppement ingal sur le plan sportif, mais il suffit de constater la passion des pays africains et asiatiques pour le football et les rapides progrs affichs par leurs footballeurs pour comprendre que dans ce domaine leur retard sest, au fil des Coupes du monde, combl. Et quoiquen pensent les nostalgiques de tout bord, la direction du football mondial ne peut plus, en ce dbut du deuxime millnaire, se limiter une alternance EuropeAmrique du Sud. LAfrique et lAsie ont dsormais leur mot dire et leurs reprsentants tiennent dsormais jouer des rles de premier plan. Ds 1994, lEurope, grce notamment la clairvoyance et louverture desprit des dirigeants de lUEFA, a fait son mea culpa. Elle a admis quelle ne peut plus se considrer comme le matre du monde et imposer ses ides aux autres continents. Quelle ne peut plus se baser sur les mrites du pass pour rgner. Quil lui faut admettre que dautres ont fait des progrs. Et quil faille envisager un plus juste quilibre dans le monde du football. Une prise de conscience courageuse qui sest demble traduite par un rapprochement avec lAfrique. Nous sommes, affirma Gerhard Aigner le secrtaire gnral de lUEFA, sur le mme axe de temps, et il existe dindniables liens historiques, parfois pas trs agrables. Le 27 octobre 1994, New York, les membres europens du Comit excutif de la FIFA soutiennent loctroi lAfrique de cinq places de finalistes en Coupe du monde. Et en mai 1995, Paris, les reprsentants de lUEFA et de la CAF sassocient pour laborer un projet de rforme du football mondial intitul Vision I et Vision II. Il y est dit en prambule : Le pouvoir de dcision dans le football mondial est, par tradition, concentr en Europe et en Amrique du Sud. () La FIFA suit des rgles dmocratiques. En thorie seulement. () Si les pratiques autoritaires actuelles continuent dtre tolres, cest le sport du football lui-mme qui en souffrira puisquil ne rcuprera plus ses recettes, et la FIFA se coupera de plus en plus de ses membres et de son public. A laube du deuxime millnaire, la FIFA a besoin dune nouvelle structure de direction qui la fasse descendre de sa tour divoire, la rapproche du football et permette lensemble de lorganisation de participer son dveloppement. Vision I propose de rquilibrer les pouvoirs entre la FIFA et les Confdrations et surtout que la FIFA soit dirige par une instance excutive plus petite et plus dmocratique, dont la prsidence sera assure selon un systme rotatif. Les prsidents de confdrations assureront tour de rle la prsidence de la FIFA, avec un mandat de quatre ans chacun. Vision II constate dabord que la Coupe du monde est considrablement sousvalue et insuffisamment vendue du point de vue commercial. Il propose de rformer les principes du marketing et de crer un partenariat associant le football

great shortcomings, given that two blocks, important in terms of mass and population as Africa and Asia have contented themselves, for nearly half a century, to play roles without any consistency. Certainly, one can talk about unequal development on a sporting level, but it is enough to observe the passion of African and Asian countries for football and the swift progresses displayed by their football players to understand that their backwardness in this domain has been made up with in the World Cups. And whatever those who feel nostalgic for the past think, the management of world football cannot be limited any more to an alternation between the Europe-South America axis, particularly at the beginning of this second millennium. From now on, Africa and Asia are entitled to have their say and their representatives are anxious to play important roles. Since 1994, Europe, thanks especially to the clairvoyance and open mindness of UEFAs administrators, it has admitted that it cannot consider itself as the world master any more and impose its ideas upon the other continents or use past glories in order to reign. That it has to admit that others have made progresses and that one must consider a fairer balance in the football world. This has been a courageous awareness, immediately translated into a rapprochement with Africa. We are, asserts Gerhard Aigner, the General Secretary of UEFA, on the same time axis and there are undeniable historic bounds, sometimes not very pleasant. On October 27th, 1994, in New York, the European members of the Executive Committee of FIFA supported the granting to Africa of five places at the World Cup finals. And in May 1995, in Paris, the representatives of UEFA and CAF cooperated in establishing a project of reform of world football called Vision I and Vision II. In the preamble, it says: The power of decision making in the football world is, by tradition, concentrated in Europe and in South America (...). FIFA believes in democratic rules. Only in theory (...) If the current authoritarian practices continue to be tolerated, it is the sport of football itself that will suffer since it will not retrieve its proceeds any more, and FIFA would cut more and more all ties with its members and its public. At the dawn of the second millennium, FIFA needs a new structure for administration which would make it come down from its ivory tower, get it closer to football and allow the entire organisation to participate in its development. Vision I is proposing to counterbalance the powers between FIFA and the Confederations and mostly that FIFA be administrated by a smaller and more democratic executive power, whose presidency will be ensured according to a rotation system. The Confederations Presidents will ensure the presidency of FIFA in turn, with a mandate of four years each. Vision II was first to observe that the World Cup was greatly under-evaluated and insufficiently handled from the marketing perspective. It proposes to reform the marketing principles and create a partnership associating football (the confederation), television (the distributor) and the main companies. Vision II is particularly concerned about the proceeds of the World Cup and proposes a fair distribution among the member national associations, granting each one of them an advance of one million Swiss Francs for the participation in the preliminaries

of the World Cup. Moreover, the Confederations too would be paid from these proceeds. Badly received at that time by the President of FIFA, Mr Joao Havelange, the project was submitted to the examination of several committees who decorticated it before draining the substance from it. However, Mr Havelange set about revising the television and marketing contracts of the 2002 World Cup. And in 1998, Mr Joseph Blatter, a candidate for the presidential election of FIFA, took over to his account the propositions of Vision II relative to the distribution of the competition proceeds and used it, among other things, as an electoral argument. Vision I and Vision II constituted the political programme of Lennart Johansson, who also ran for the Presidency of FIFA. Faithful to their promise, CAF and its President Issa Hayatou declared, in February 1998, publicly and without any ambiguity, their support for the candidate of UEFA. They appealed to the African national associations to give their votes to Mr. Johansson, in Paris on June 8. Alas, the appeal was only partially heard. Many federations went it alone to the detriment of unity. Blatter was finally elected. But, commented Mr. Hayatou, I remain convinced that Johansson was a better candidate for Africa. After four years, Issa Hayatou is taking up the torch and announcing his candidature for the presidential election of FIFA. He is, states Lennart Johansson, a man of honour, efficient and loyal. He knows what transparency, solidarity and loyalty mean. I am giving him my full support. From Seoul, Dr Chung Mong-joon, vice-president of FIFA and President of the Korean Federation declares: The FIFA presidency should not go to someone who wants to rule but to the one who is ready to serve football and consolidate its unity. It is about time to elect a new leader who can administrate FIFA with another philosophy and a new vision. Mr Hayatou is the President FIFA needs. Issa Hayatou is a zealous and devoted servant of foot(la confdration), la tlvision (les diffuseurs) et les principales entreprises. Vision II se proccupe particulirement des recettes de la Coupe du monde et propose un mode de rpartition quitable entre les associations nationales membres dont loctroi chacune dentre elles, dune avance dun million de francs suisses pour la participation aux liminatoires de la Coupe du monde. De plus, les confdrations seront elles aussi payes sur ces recettes. Mal accueilli lpoque par le prsident de la FIFA, M. Joao Havelange, le projet est soumis l examen de plusieurs commissions qui lont dcortiqu avant de le vider de sa substance. Toutefois, M. Havelange sactive pour obtenir une rvision la hausse des contrats de tlvision et de marketing de la Coupe du monde 2002. Et en 1998, M. Joseph Blatter, candidat llection prsidentielle de la FIFA reprend son compte les propositions de Vision II relatives la rpartition des recettes de la comptition et lutilise, entre autres, comme argument lectoral. Vision I et Vision II constituent le programme politique de Lennart Johansson qui postule lui aussi la prsidence de la FIFA. Fidle leurs engagements, la CAF et son prsident Issa Hayatou proclament, en fvrier 1998, publiquement et sans quivoque leur soutien au candidat de lUEFA. Ils appellent les associations nationales africaines porter leurs suffrages L. Johansson, le 8 juin Paris. Lappel ne sera hlas que partiellement entendu. De nombreuses fdrations font cavalier seul au dtriment des impratifs dunit. Blatter est finalement lu. Mais, commentera I. Hayatou, je reste persuad que Johansson tait le meilleur candidat pour lAfrique. Quatre ans aprs, Issa Hayatou reprend le flambeau et annonce sa candidature llection prsidentielle de la FIFA. Cest, affirme Lennart Johansson, un homme dhonneur, efficace et loyal. Il sait ce que la transparence, la solidarit et la loyaut veulent dire. Je lui apporte mon

plein soutien. De Soul, le Dr Chung Mong-joon, viceprsident de la FIFa et prsident de la Fdration corenne dclare : La prsidence de la FIFA ne doit revenir quelquun qui entend rgner mais celui qui est prt servir le football et consolider son unit. Il est temps dlire un nouveau leader qui puisse diriger la FIFA avec une autre philosophie et une nouvelle vision. M. Hayatou est le prsident quil faut la FIFA. Issa Hayatou, et il la prouv depuis quil dirige la CAF, est un serviteur zl et dvou du football. Sa candidature est place sous lobjectif clair et sans concession de servir autrement le football et les footballeurs . Son programme daction est dans la continuit des ides contenues dans Vision I et II. Sa candidature rpond des impratifs prcis savoir : Un exercice rnov du pouvoir et des responsabilits la tte de la FIFA Lexercice dune relle dmocratie au sein de la FIFA Linstauration dune plus grande quit entre les membres de la FIFA et une meilleure rgulation de la plante foot La priorit absolue aux valeurs et vertus du sport Une gestion transparente et responsable Ses proccupations et ses engagements ne peuvent concourir qu : Instaurer lalternance effective (loi essentielle de la dmocratie) dans le gouvernement de la FIFA en instaurant la limitation des mandats lectifs (deux) pour tous les membres du Comit excutif Gouverner avec le Comit excutif et les Confdrations continentales Associer pleinement le Comit excutif dans llaboration de la politique sportive et conomique de la FIFA Associer activement et efficacement les footballeurs la gestion de leur sport par la participation aux grands projets de la FIFA Gouverner par la concertation, le dialogue et la rforme Rendre compte de ses actes, restaurer la fonction prsidentielle et lui redonner un sens Instaurer et consolider un quilibre entre lessence du football le jeu et ses enjeux conomiques et politiques Instaurer la transparence dans toutes les transactions financires et commerciales lies au football Rpartir quitablement les richesses produites par la Coupe du monde Mettre en valeur la fonction sociale du football. Privilgier le social lconomique Maintenir et cadrer les programmes de dveloppement financs par la FIFA. Issa Hayatou ne propose pas de recette magique pour servir le football et les footballeurs et diriger la FIFA mais des engagements solides sous tendus par des ides-cls : thique, quit, quilibre, transparence, responsabilit et pragmatisme.

ball and he has proved it since he has been managing CAF. His candidature has a clear objective, without compromise, of serving football and football players differently. His programme of action is the continuity of the ideas contained in Vision I and II. His candidature meets precise imperatives, namely: A renovated exercise of power and responsibilities at the head of FIFA. The exercise of real democracy within FIFA. The establishment of a greater equity among the members of FIFA and a better regulation of football on the planet. Absolute priority to sports values and virtues. A transparent and responsible management. His concerns and his commitments can only converge to: Establishing effective alternation (essential law for democracy) in the government of FIFA by establishing a limit of elective mandates (two) for all the members of the Executive Committee. Administrating with the Executive Committee and the continental Confederations. Fully associate the Executive Committee in the elaboration of the sports and economy politics of FIFA. Actively and efficiently associating the football players in the management of their sport by participation to the great projects of FIFA. Rule by consultation, dialogue and reform. Accounting for all his actions, renovating the presidential function and giving it back its significance. Establishing and consolidating a balance between the essence of football the game - and its economic and political stakeholders. Establishing transparency in all the financial and commercial transactions dealing with football. Distributing equitably the riches produced by the World Cup. Emphasising the social function of football, putting the social over the economic. Maintaining and managing the development programmes financed by FIFA. Issa Hayatou is not proposing a magical recipe to serve football and football players and to administrate FIFA, but solid commitments underlined by key ideas: ethics, equity, balance, transparency, responsibility and pragmatism. He needs first the straight and massive support of Africa, in order to hope for a historical victory in Seoul on May 29. F.M.

Relations between the State and Sports Authorities Des relations entre l Etat et les instances sportives
In my capacity as President of the Confdration Africaine de Football and Vice-President of FIFA, I fully adhere to the aims of the conference, which are to develop the relations among the States on one side and the national and international federations on the other. This determination which gathers us here together should not be limited to good intention only. It requires an indispensable realistion which should follow the paths set by the statutes of our respective institutions. Before defining the outline of consultation and co-operation between the different categories of sports decision-makers, it is important for me to clarify each one of them and specify the nature of juridical bounds and relations between the public power and the national and international sports institutions. You would surely agree that a sports federation is an institution. But it is a particular institution, which, because of diverse attributes, borrows many characteristics from public power. Arising from the fact that it serves followers of the same sport, the federation ensures unity and coherence without which sport, or to be more exact competition, could not function properly. It has to be seen as a system functioning with its own regulations. The sovereignty of a federation is relative, that is to say, limited to the organisation and control of the sport it serves. This is the essential difference with the state sovereignty. The assertion of this sovereignty would be useless, in any case made frail, if it is not recognised by the state. This recognition is essential for the development of sport. It is all the more necessary that sports activity, strongly involved in the social life requires permanent and important assistance from the State. The tight collaboration between the public powers and the federal authorities, as well as for the determination and the undertaking of various public functions in the domain of sport, is linked to the unity structure of the organised sports movements which appears as the real representative of interests that the state intends to support. The sports movement appears as the privileged speaker of public powers, imposing at this title, its full association to public management of activities that it has to organise. Whatever its importance or the degree thereof, intervention by the State in the domain of sports should remain a supporting role to the activities mainly controlled by the federation. The intervention should aim to benefit sport, but guaranteeing at the same time the rights and liberties of the sports bodies. The nature of the relations between the State and the sports authorities must be well defined. The meaning and the scope of the state intervention emerge when the latter takes in account the effective existence of a private power (the sports authority), distinct from the public power. Effectively, it is by recognising this power, and not by

En ma qualit de prsident de la Confdration africaine de football et de vice-prsident de la FIFA, jadhre pleinenement au but de la confrence qui est de dvelopper les relations entre les Etats dune part et les fdrations nationales et internationales dautre part. Cette finalit qui nous runit ne doit pas se limiter la bonne intention. Elle exige une indispensable concrtisation laquelle doit emprunter les voies balises par les statuts de nos institutions respectives. Il me parat, avant de dfinir le contour dune stratgie de concertation et de coopration entre les diverses catgories de dcideurs sportifs, fort utile de clarifier la situation des uns et des autres et de reprciser la nature des liens juridiques et des relations entre la puissance publique et les institutions sportives nationales et internationales. Toute fdration sportive est, vous en convenez, une institution. Mais elle est une institution particulire qui, par les modalits de sa formation comme par ses divers attributs emprunte de nombreux traits la puissance publique. Emanation de lensemble des pratiquants dune mme discipline sportive, la fdration assure par son rle et ses attributions lunit et la cohrence sans lesquelles le sport, ou plus prcisement la comptition, ne saurait tre conue comme un systme fonctionnant avec ses rgles propres. La "souverainet" de toute fdration est relative, cest--dire limite lorganisation de la discipline rgie, ce qui constitue la diffrence essentielle avec la souverainet tatique. Laffirmation de cette souverainet serait vaine, en tout cas fragilise, si elle ntait pas reconnue par lordre tatique. Cette reconnaissance est essentielle au dveloppement des disciplines. Elle est dautant plus indispensable que lactivit sportive, fortement implique dans la vie sociale, rclame un concours permanent et important de lEtat. Ltroitesse de la collaboration qui stablit entre les Pouvoirs publics et les instances fdrales aussi bien pour la dtermination que pour la remise en uvre des diverses actions publiques dans le domaine des sports, est lie lunit structurelle du mouvement sportif organis. Lequel apparat comme le reprsentant vritable des intrts que lEtat entend soutenir. Le mouvement sportif se prsente comme linterlocuteur priviligi des Pouvoirs publics, imposant, ce titre, sa pleine association la gestion publique des activits quil a pour mission dorganiser. Quelque que soit son importance ou son degr, lintervention de lEtat dans le domaine sportif reste une action de soutien une activit rgie, titre principal, par la fdration. Lintervention poursuit le dessein de privilgier loriginalit du systme sportif tout en garantissant les droits et les liberts de ses membres. Lobjectif poursuivi impose que soient nettement dfinies la nature des relations entre lEtat et les instances sportives ainsi que

ltendue de leurs comptences respectives. Le sens et la porte de lintervention tatique se dgagent lorsque celle-ci prend en compte lexistence effective dune puissance prive (linstance sportive), distincte de la puissance publique. Cest en effet, en reconnaissant cette puissance, et non en la niant que lEtat la canalise et la soumet au droit. Et cette reconnaissance nexclut en rien la primaut de lordre juridique tatique. Elle apparat comme un gage de dmocratie et de libert, comme la manifestation vritable de la souverainet de lEtat. Cette interprtation juridiquement fonde et bien admise par les parties concernes pargnerait bien de conflits dautorit. Passons maintenant linstance fdrale internationale. Celleci apparat comme la structure essentielle de ralisation de lunit de la discipline sportive et lui confrant son universalit. Elle prdomine sur les instances fdrales internes. Elle est lautorit dpositaire des principes constitutifs de la discipline. Elle est la seule autorit organisatrice des comptitions internationales. Elle accorde, au nom du principe de lunit de reprsentation, la reconnaissance internationale aux fdrations nationales. Elle ne reconnat toutefois quune seule fdration par pays pour reprsenter la discipline sportive quelle rgit et laffilie ce titre. Elle donne la fdration reconnue et affilie et elle seule, qualit pour reprsenter la discipline considre sur le territoire national. Par voie de consquence, la fdration nationale, seule autorit sportive reconnue au plan international, simpose ainsi aux autorits publiques comme le seul interlocuteur reprsentatif de la discipline.

denying it, that the State channels it and submits it to law. And this recognition does not undermine at all the supremacy of the state juridical order. It appears as a token of democracy and freedom, as a real demonstration of the States sovereignty. If this interpretation is adhered to by all parties concerned, it would spare many conflicts. Let us proceed to the international federal authority. The latter is an essential structure towards the goal of achieving the unity of sport and bestowing on it a sense of universality. It prevails over the domestic authorities. It is the guardian authority of the constituent principle of the sport. It is the only authority organising international competitions. It bestows international acknowledgement to the national federations. However, it only acknowledges one federation per country to represent the sport it supervises. It gives to the acknowledged and affiliated federation, and only to it, the power to represent the considered sport in the national territory. Consequently, the national federation, the only sport authority recognised on international level, thus imposes itself to the public authorities as the sole speaker representing the sport. The international federation, such as FIFA, does not allow itself at all any intervention right in all that concerns and deals with state sovereignty. But, through its statutes, the international private power in fact, has the right to require that the organising managers of a national association can be appointed only by election and in complete freedom. Otherwise, it has the right to withdraw its recognition of a particular countrys association. The aim is only to protect the autonomy and the sovereignty of the recognised and affiliated federation, its democratic functioning as association and the stability of its administration. FIFA does not intervene whatsoever in the collaboration between association and the federal authority or public powers of the State. Once the rules of the game are specified, the match can begin. Having occupied, for many years, leading positions within the Sports Ministry of Cameroon, before administrating the

La fdration internationale, lexemple de la FIFA, ne sautorise aucun droit dintervention dans tout ce qui concerne et relve de la souverainet tatique. Mais, de par ses statuts, la puissance prive internationale quelle est de fait, est en droit dexiger que les organes dirigeants dune association nationale librement affilie ne peuvent tre dsigns que par voie dlections en son sein et ce en toute indpendance, faute de quoi elle est lgitime retirer sa reconnaissance. Lobjectif nest autre que de protger lautonomie et la souverainet de la fdration reconnue et affilie, son fonctionnement dmocratique dassociation et la stabilit de sa gestion. La FIFA nintervient nullement dans les modalits de la collaboration qui stablit entre linstance fdrale et les Pouvoirs publics ou dans celles de son association avec lEtat pour la conduite des politiques sportives. Une fois ainsi reprcises les rgles du jeu, le match peut commencer. Ayant occup de longues annes durant de hautes fonctions au sein du ministre des Sports du Cameroun avant de grer puis de diriger la fddration camerounaise de football, je puis tmoigner de lampleur et de la permanence de la contribution matrielle de lEtat dans le dveloppement du football dans mon pays. Ce ntait pas une situation exceptionnelle. Dans la majorit de nos pays, lEtat dlie souvent les cordons de la bourse lappel du ballon. La 23 CAN aurait-elle p se drouler, avec la satisfaction de tous les participants, il faut le prciser, au Mali si lEtat malien navait pas couvert toutes les dpenses dinfrastructures et dorganisation ? La contribution tatique a encore de beaux jours devant elle. Ds lors que lEtat finance, la tentation est forte, lorsque la puissance sportive qui na, faut-il le prciser, aucun but conomique, gnre de par ses activits, directement ou indirectement des recettes ou bnficie de subventions de la FIFA, de lui rclamer de renvoyer lascenseur. Lon peut admettre la dmarche mais lon ne peut accepter quelle dbouche sur de graves conflits dautorit et finisse par dstabiliser linstance

Cameroonian Football Federation, I can testify to the importance of the States material contribution to the development of football in my country. And this was no exception in the African continent. In the majority of our countries, the State often spends money for football. Could the 23rd African Nations Cup finals have taken place in Mali to all the participants satisfaction if the Malian State had not covered all the infrastructural and organisational expenses? No, the states contribution was exceedingly vital. As soon as the State finances a sport, the temptation becomes strong to demand a return of favour, particularly when the federation has no economic clout, but benefits from FIFAs subventions. One can admit that this happens but one cannot accept it. It has the potential to lead to serious conflicts and in the end serves to destabilise the sports authority. Such a crisis situation could be avoided if, at the start, rules were juridically and concretely established for a close collaboration between the State and the sports associations. The real partners for the sports development are the Public Powers and the national sports federations. Consultation and cooperation are essential between both parties. FIFA and CAF do not intervene in the relations between the State and the sports authorities, only if there is unilateral and arbitrary rupture. Any aid project, any contribution for development, any direct subvention can only follow the channels allowed for by the statutes. Then any federation is free to conduct its sports politics according or not to its collaboration with the regulatory authority. So let the national sports federations and the Sports ministries revise, if necessary, their relations and let them contract marriages, with a communal state settlement that FIFA and CAF could only bless. Once the outline of the material co-operation is delimited, it is very useful to wary about consultation amang the partners of sports development. While anxious about its independence and its freedom of action, CAF has, under my presidency, always cultivated dialogue and consultation with Public Powers and sports regulatory authorities, even if only on the occasion of assemblies and meetings of the sports Superior Council of Sports in Africa. The SCSA that certainly needs serious uplifting, it remains the institutional administrator that is best adapted to consolidate the relations between the Confederations and the Ministers of Youth and Sports. Is it not, in terms of its statutes, the supreme organ for the co-ordination of Africa sports movement? Is it not the aim of the SCSA, among other aims, to collaborate with international sports organisations and institutions, as well as with the continental Confederations whose action it should encourage and to which it should, according to article 33 of its statutes, grant moral and material assistance? Then, Excellencies, Madame and Messrs the Ministers of Sports in French speaking African, let us begin by giving back dynamism and efficiency to the SCSA.

sportive. Une telle situation de crise pourrait tre vite si, au dpart, staient, juridiquement et concrtement tablies les rgles dune collaboration troite entre les Pouvoirs publics et les instances fdrales et d une association pour la conduite de la politique sportive. Les vritables partenaires du dveloppement sportif sont les Pouvoirs publics et les fdrations sportives nationales. La concertation et la coopration sont incontournables pour les deux parties. La FIFA ou la CAF ninterviennent dans les relations entre lEtat et les instances sportives sauf sil y a rupture unilatrale et arbitraire. Tout projet daide, toute contribution au dveloppement, toute subvention directe ne peuvent emprunter que les canaux prvus par les statuts. Libre ensuite toute fdration de conduire sa politique sportive en fonction ou non de ses liens de collaboration avec lautorit de tutelle. Alors que les fdrations sportives et les ministres des Sports revoient, si besoin est, leurs relations et quils contractent, sous le rgime de la communaut des biens, des mariages que la FIFA et la CAF ne pourront que bnir. Une fois dlimit le contour de la coopration matrielle, il est fort utile de se proccuper de la concertation entre les partenaires du dveloppement sportif. La CAF, tout en se souciant de son indpendance et de sa libert daction a, sous ma prsidence, toujours cultiv la concertation et le dialogue avec les Pouvoirs publics et les autorits sportives de tutelle, ne serait-ce qu loccasion des assembles et des sessions du Conseil Suprieur du sport en Afrique. Le CSSA qui a, certes besoin dun srieux lifting, demeure le cadre institutionnel le mieux adapt la consolidation des relations entre les Confdrations et les Ministres de la Jeunesse et des Sports. Nest-il pas, de par ses statuts, lorgane suprme de coordination du mouvement sportif africain et linstrument de laction concerte des Etats membres ? Son but nest-il, entre autres, de collaborer avec les organismes et institutions sportives internationaux, ainsi quavec les Confdrations continentales dont il doit encourager laction et auxquelles il doit, selon larticle 33 de ses statuts accorder une assistance morale et matrielle? Alors, Excellences, Madame et Messieurs les Ministres des Sports dAfrique francophone, commenons par redonner du dynanisme et de lefficacit au CSSA. Quil redevienne le cadre privilgi de la rflexion, de la concertation et de llaboration des politiques sportives ! __________________________________________________ Communication de M.

GOLD DAVID H. WILL (Scotland) A jurist who serves football with faith and dedication since 1966. First as President of Brechin City Football Club then as manager of the Scottish Federation where David Will (66 since November the 22nd) climbed all the rungs of the ladder since 1970. Member of the federal Council then the Executive Committee, President of the Referees and Discipline Committees, treasurer, Vice-President, President from 1984 to 1989 to end as honorary Vice-President... In 1984, David Will entered the Executive Committee of UEFA where he occupied several posts: Vice-President, President of the non-amateur and professional football committee, then that of the Referees, of the European Union, member of the juridical committee.... But it is in the domain of the respect of the games laws, that it to say in refereeing, that David Will achieved the essential of his work. From 1990 to 1998, he administrated with authority, competence and open mind, the unavoidable Referees committee of FIFA. History will remember that it was during David Wills mandate that African refereeing obtained the consideration and the respect that its progresses deserved and that an African ran the final of the World Cup 1998. Within FIFA, David Will has been member of the Appeal committee, has presided that of the players statutes, of national associations, of legal affairs. He is since 1990, Vice-President of the international organisation, member of the World Cup organising, security and fair- play Committees, he is also in charge of the 2002 World Cup tickets distribution. Such a resourceful and persevering servant fully deserves football. TOM MTINE (Zambia) Thomas Mandandaulo Dickson Mtine is recognised rightfully as the father of Zambian football. This holder of accountancy and commercial management diploma, born on the 11th February 1926, has begun by kicking the ball in Lusaka. Wounded at the knee in 1945, he hanged up his studs and began his administrative carrier with Try Again Football Club. Appointed inspector of the co-operative societies of the Executive Committee of Northern-Rhodesia, he settled down in Copperbelt in Ndola where he was elected President of Ndola Black Follies. In 1955, he became Vice-President of the African football Association in Copperbelt. He was then the only African to have a post within a committee dominated by Europeans. In 1958, he became General Secretary of the Association, an assignment held by Europeans since 1935. In 1959, he was part of the new football Association of the former North Rhodesia, which will become the Zambian football national association in 1960. From the vice-presidency, Tom Mtine acceded to the presidency of the young federation. In1968, Tom Mtine was elected in CAF Executive Committee and resided there until 1998. First African mayor of Zambia, he is honorary Citizen of the town of Ndola and grand officer of the Distinguished Service Order in 1976.

In 1980, Tom Mtine applied for the presidency of CAF without success. From 1977 to 1988 he presided the Finance committee of CAF. Today he is honorary member. It was under his successive mandates that the Zambian football stopped being anonymous. It knew how to make good choices to build a competitive national selection of the highest level in Africa. A great administrator and a kind, nice and honest man, according to the Mr. David Will

Mr. Tom Mtine


words of the journalist Dennis Liwewe. SILVER MICHEL ZEN-RUFFEN (Switzerland) Since he started conducting and animating the draw ceremonies of the World Cup and other world competitions, this pure native of Valais has acquired a new media dimension. His charisma as well as his proficiency in languages and his joviality serve him well. And yet, who would say that this jurist who displays cheerfully his age of forty-three, would leave the black outfit of referee and hang up his whistle to become the guardian of the temple and administrate a multinational of FIFAs scope? International referee from 1993 to 1995, he entered FIFA in 1986 naturally to attend to refereeing. From the laws of the game, he was transferred to the laws of the sport and took in charge the juridical department of the football planet government. In 1995, he climbed another rung of the ladder and was promoted assistant General Secretary of FIFA. Following the presidential elections of 1998, he deputised for the General Secretary in the interim. Eight months later, he acceded officially to the post. The scope and the complexity of the task have altered in no way the enthusiasm and availability of this administrator who does not ignore the recipe of a good management. Gerhard AIGNER Having a degree in economics and international commerce, impressing polyglot, Gerhard Aigner has played football from 1957 to 1979 in divisional clubs in Germany, his native country, and in Switzerland. He has also been referee then coach from 1963 to 1966. This sport passionate who is also a music-lover and a theatre amateur, entered in UEFA in 1969. After twenty years he became its General Secretary. An avant-garde spirit, irreproachable administrator and manager, Gerhard Aigner is a zealous servant of football and sports and he never stopped defending its specificity, especially during the last decade. A decade marked by political upheavals which have changed the face and the weight of UEFA. A decade marked also, in the football planet, by a financial bid, a growing influence of the audio-visual tycoons and the overcharged calendars. Gerhard Aigner knew how to confront all the situations without prevarication and was able to maintain the course for the welfare of European football. His spirit of opening has led him to reject any conservatism. In 1996, he declared: "Europe and Africa are very close to each other. We are on the same time axis; there are undeniable historical ties, sometimes not so pleasant. Moreover, Europe cannot consider itself as the world leader. It must admit that others are progressing and consider a fair balance in the football world." And Gerhard Aigner, a man of progress, has been contributing greatly in the quest of this balance since 1994. BAKO TOURE (Mali) He was one of the most endearing personalities of African football. Fiery eyes, a seducing smile, he was certainly a magnificent athlete, big, solid, well balanced, with a sculpted musculature, but using with intelligence, without any ostentation, admirable physical talents. Uncommon qualities for a football player: dribbles, kick-offs, shots, all with the stamp of the best technique, with a beautiful speed of achievement. But an eventful carrier. Born in Bamako on the 7th December 1939, he started in Jeanne dArc with which he won the Cup of the ex-AOF. In 1939, he emi-

niveau en Afrique. Un grand dirigeant et un homme, selon les mots du journaliste Dennis Liwewe bon, gentil et honnte . ARGENT MICHEL ZEN-RUFFINEN (Suisse) Depuis quil dirige et anime les crmonies de tirage de la Coupe du monde et des autres comptitions mondiales, ce Valaisan pur sang a acquis une nouvelle dimension mdiatique. Son charisme autant que sa matrise des langues et sa jovialit le servent bien. Et pourtant, qui aurait dit que ce juriste sdunois qui affiche allgrement ses quarante trois ans, quitterait la tenue noire du 23 homme et raccrocherait le sifflet pour se transformer en gardien du temple et grer une multinationale de lenvergure de la FIFA. Arbitre international de 1993 1995, il entra en 1986 la FIFA pour naturellement soccuper darbitrage. Des lois du jeu, il fut transfr aux lois du sport et prit en charge le dpartement juridique du gouvernement de la plante foot. En 1995, il gravit encore un chelon et fut promu secrtaire gnral adjoint de la FIFA. Du fait des lections prsidentielles de 1998, il assuma partir du mois davril de la mme anne, la charge de secrtaire gnral par intrim. Huit mois aprs, il accde officiellement au poste. Lampleur et la complexit de la tche nont en rien entam lenthousiasme et la disponibilit de cet administrateur qui nignore pas les recettes de la bonne gouvernance. Gerhard AIGNER Diplm en conomie et en commerce international, polyglotte impressionnant, Gerhard Aigner a jou au football, de 1957 1979 dans des clubs divisionnaires dAllemagne, son pays natal et de Suisse. Il a t aussi arbitre puis entraneur de 1963 1966. Ce passionn de sport qui est aussi un mlomane et un amateur de thtre est entr lUEFA en 1969. Vingt ans aprs, il en devient le secrtaire gnral.Esprit davant-garde, administrateur et gestionnaire irrprochable, Gerhard Aigner est un serviteur zl du football et du sport dont il na cesse de dfendre la spcificit, surtout durant la dcennie qui vient de sachever. Une dcennie marque par des bouleversements politiques qui ont chang le visage et le poids de lUEFA. Une dcennie marque aussi, dans la plante foot, par une surenchre financire, une influence grandissante des magnats de laudiovisuel et la surcharge des calendriers. Gerhard Aigner a su affronter toutes les situations sans faux-fuyants et est parvenu maintenir le cap pour le grand bien du football europen. Son esprit douverture la conduit rejeter tout conservatisme. LEurope et lAfrique, dclara-t-il en 1996, sont trs proches lune de lautre. Nous sommes sur le mme axe de temps, et il existe dindniables liens historiques, parfois pas trs agrables. De plus, lEurope ne peut pas continuer se considrer comme le matre du monde. Il lui faut admettre que dautres font des progrs et envisager un plus juste quilibre dans le monde du football. Et la qute de cet quilibre, Gerhard Aigner, homme de progrs, y contribue grandement depuis 1994. BAKO TOURE (Mali) Ctait une des personnalits les plus attachantes du football africain. Le regard de braise, le sourire sducteur, ctait un magnifique athlte certes, grand solide, bien quilibr, la musculature cisele, mais utilisant intelligemment, sans aucune ostentation,, dadmirables dons physiques.

grated to France to improve his profession as post agent and to try his luck in professional football. He began in A.S. PTT of Nice before being recruited by the Olympic of Marseilles that lent him to FC Toulouse from where he went to A.S.Nancy Lorraine before going to Toulon then return to ..... Lorraine. His son Jos was born there. Then Bassiki Tour, called Bako, landed in Limiges where bad luck kept hounding him: fibula fracture, meniscus ablation. Operations followed one another. Two years leave and a moment of hope when FC Nantes came to offer him a beautiful football resurrection. In 1965-66. The malian is champion of France and finalist of the Cup. Alas, the return to the summit did not last long. Bako had to pack up. He landed in Gazelec of Ajaccio where, with his fellow citizen Omar Keita Barrou, he was going to make the Corsican club what it was, then it is transhumance again and establishment in Blois where his two sons grew up. In February 1972, Bako, beside the Malian football immortals such as Salif Keita, Ousmane Traor, Kidian Diallo, Fantamady Keita, Yattassaye and Mamadou Keita, he played the final phase of the VIIIth African Cup of Nations in Cameroon. The Eagles were the finalists. Bako retired in 1975 and went definitely back to Mali where the vicissitudes of life did not spare him. Twenty-five years of hard life followed. End of April, the ball artist passed away sadly. Let him rest in peace. PAUL MOUKILA SAYAL His path has nearly crossed that of Bakos in the evening of the 5th March 1972 in the field of Ahmadou Ahidjo of Yaounde, for the final of the VIIIth ACN. He belonged to the Red Devils of Congo but he was not aligned against the Eaglets of Mali. Congo won with 3 -2. In January 1973, at the African games in Lagos, Paul Moukila was fully titular but the Red Devils crushed by Syli of Guinea (5-1), were eliminated. After several months, with the militaries of the Inter Club of Brazzaville, Sayal became famous during the CISM championships. In March 1974, in Egypt, he started the IXth ACN. Congo could not keep its title and got only the third place. Before the year ended, this time Moukila wore the shirt of Club Athletique Renaissance Aiglons (CARA) of Brazzaville and launched himself in the African Clubs Cup. On the 13th December, in Mahalla, CARA took by surprise the champions of Egypt and at the end of the home and away final, won the Kwame Nkrumah trophy. For Sayal, the best scorer of his team with ten goals, it was international recognition: he was elected the best African player of the year. He was 24. Born on the 6th June 1950 in Souanke, in the north of Congo, he had started playing football in the school of his village, then in that of Dolisie. In ??? , the Inter Club engaged him, short-legged, quite well proportioned athlete, Moukila was an attacker all speeding-up. Skilful and especially dextrous with his left foot, he had a devastating dribble. Accurate in the game, collective to perfection and a terribly strong finisher, he reminded of the former international Frenchman Roger Piantoni. At the end of 1975, the Congolese flew to the Racing of Strasbourg. Non-commissioned officer in the Congolese navy, his departure was considered as a desertion. He went back to Brazzaville, he re-entered the navy, waited for a long time before returning to France where he signed with Fontainebleau, a divisional club. He was unable to recuperate his best level. Seriously wound-

En 1957, il migrait en France pour parfaire son mtier dagent des postes et pour tenter sa chance dans le foot professionnel. Il dbuta lA.S.

O naquit son fils Jos. Bassidiki Tour dit Bako choua ensuite Limiges o la malchance sacharna sur lui : flure du pron, ablation du mnisque. Les oprations se succdrent. Deux annes darrt et un moment despoir lorsque le FC Nantes vint le chercher pour lui offrir une belle rsurrection sportive. En 1965-66, le Malien est champion de France et finaliste de la Coupe. Le retour au sommet ne dure, hlas pas. Bako doit faire ses valises. Il dbarqur au Gazelec dAjaccioo, en compagnie de son compatriote Omar Keita Barrou, il va faire les beaux jours du club corse. Puis, cest de nouveau la transhumance et une installation Blois o grandsissent ses deux enfants. En fvrier 1972, Bako aux cts des immortels du football malien qui ont noms Salif Keita, Ousmane Traor, Kidian Diallo, fantamady Keita, Yattasaye et autre Mamadou Keita, il dispute la phase finale de la VIII Coupe dAfrique des nations au Cameroun. Les Aigles sont finalistes. Bako raccroche en 1975 et rentre dfinitivement au Mali o les vissicitudes de la vie ne lpargnent pas. Suivent vingt cinq ans de galre. Fin avril 2001, lartiste du ballon tire tristement sa rvrence. Que la terre lui soit lgre. PAUL MOUKILA SAYAL Sa route a failli croiser celle de Bako, le soir du 5 mars 1972 sur la pelouse du stade Ahmadou Ahidjo de Yaound, pour la finale de la VIII CAN. Il faisait partie des Diables rouges du Congo mais il navait pas t align faceaux Aiglons du Mali. Le Congo lemporta par 3 2. Aux Jeux africains de Lagos, en janvier 1973, Paul Moukila est titulaire part entire mais les Diables Rouges, crass par le Syli de Guine (5-1) sont limins. Quelques mois aprs, avec les militaires de lInter Club de Brazzaville, Sayal sillustre lors des championnats du CISM. En mars 1974, en Egypte, il prend le dpart de la IX CAN. Le Congo ne parvient pas conserver son titre et ne dcroche que la troisime place. Lanne nest pas termine que Moukila endosse cette fois-ci le maillot du Club Athltique Renaissance Aiglons (CARA) de Brazzaville et se lance dans la Coupe dAfrique des clubs. Le 13 dcembre, Mehalla, CARA surprend les champions dEgypte et lissue de la finale aller retour, remporte le trophe Kwame Nkrumah. Pour Sayal , meilleur buteur de son quipe avec dix buts, cest la conscration internationale : il est lu meilleur joueur africain de lanne, 24 ans.N le 6 juin 1950 Souank, dans le nord du Congo, il avait commenc jouer au foot lcole de son village, puis celle de Dolisie. En 1950, lInter Club sattachait ses services. Court sur jambes, athlte assez bien proportionn, Moukila tait un attaquant tout en acclrations. Habile et surtout trs adroit du pied gauche, il avait un dribble dvastateur. Prcis dans le jeu, collectif souhait et redoutable finisseur, il rappelait lancien international franais Roger Piantoni.

he history of African football has in its archives a good number of clubs which have generated, throughout the years, passion, enthusiasm and excitement. But the greatest clubs whose names remain engraved in gold in the record book of African football, remain not because of short term sensations and sudden achievements, but because of long term endeavour and work. It is thanks to their planning and achievements that they were able to climb to the summit of the hierarchy of African clubs competitions. The great teams appearing in the classification reveal a good resistance from the famous clubs which have won fame in the different inter-clubs competitions from 1967 to 2002. For example the rise of North African clubs as well as the decline of the clubs of West and Central Africa have not perturbed much the established order. The classification, which was established by CAF sine 1993, is made on the following basis: For the Cup Winners Cup and the CAF Cup: 4 points for the champion, 3 for the runner-up, 2 for a place in the semi-finals and 1 point for a place in the quarter finals For the African Cup of Champions clubs from 1965 to 1996: same criteria as above For the CAF Champions League which started in 1997: 5 points for the champion, 4 for the runner-up, 3 for the clubs ranked 2nd in each group and 1 point for the quarterfinalists. Super cup: 1 point for a win. World clubs championship: 2 points per round crossed

histoire du football africain est illustre par un grand nombre de clubs qui ont suscit, au fil des ans, lenthousiasme et la passion des sportifs. Mais les grands clubs dont les exploits restent gravs en lettres dor dans les mmoires gardent un prestige ineffaable parce quils sont motivs par une qute de gloire jamais pleinement assouvie. Ils ont ainsi gravi les chelons de la hirarchie et sont parvenus au sommet. Les grands clubs qui apparaissent dans notre classement se sont toujours maintenus en bonne place et ont rsist lusure du temps ou lmergence de nouvelles ambitions. Lascension des clubs dAfrique du Nord, parallle au dclin de ceux de lOuest et du Centre de lAfrique, na pas beaucoup boulevers lordre tabli. Le classement, tabli depuis 1993, repose sur les critres suivants : Pour la Coupe des vainqueurs et la Coupe de la CAF : quatre points pour le champion, trois pour le finaliste, deux pour une accession aux demi-finales, un pour les quarts de finale. Pour la Coupe des clubs champions de 1965 1996 : mmes cotations que ci-dessus. Pour la Ligue des champions depuis 1997 : cinq points pour le vainqueur, quatre pour le finaliste, trois pour les clubs classs la deuxime place dans chaque poule et un pour les qualifis aux quarts de finale. Supercoupe des clubs : un point pour le vainqueur Coupe du monde des clubs : 2 points par tour franchi

En tte du classement, nous retrouvons le prestigieux Nadi al Ahli du Caire qui est suivi de prs par son rival local Zamalek lequel devance le clbre Asante Kotoko Kumasi en perte de vitesse ces dernires annes. Kotoko partage la troisime place avec le Canon de Yaound lui aussi en qute de sa gloire passe depuis bientt onze ans. LEsprance sportive de Tunis, le club le plus en vue des annes 90, et lASEC Mimos dAbidjan ont gravi les marches depuis 1993 et se ctoient la cinquime place. Ils sont suivi par les Hearts of Oak dAccra qui ont d attendre la fin de lan 2000 pour dcrocher un titre continental. Les Ghanens prcdent lAfrica Sports national dAbidjan en pleine mutation et la Jeunesse sportive de Kabylie, incontournable en Algrie. Clturent le club des dix, les inoubliables Tout puissant Mazembe de Lubumbashi (RD Congo) et le Hafia de Conakry qui ont disparu des places dhonneur depuis plus de vingt ans.

Thus at the top ten of the table we find the prestigious Al Nadi Al Ahli (National) of Cairo, Africas number one, it is closely followed by its Cairene rival Zamalek then Asante Kotoko of Kumasi; which has been loosing momentum in recent years. Kotoko shares the 3rd position with Canon of Yaound, another team to fall in sports oblivion since more than eleven years. Esperance of Tunisia, always among the best in recent years and ASEC of Abidjan which also has been climbing up steadily since 1993, both share the 5th position. The Hearts of Oak, in its continuous attempts the recover the lost glories of Ghana has gone up to 7th position in front of the Africa Sports National of Abidjan in full mutation and Jeunesse Sportive of Kabylie. Then come the unforgettable TP Mazembe (DR Congo) and Hafia Conakry (Guinea), both in free fall since more than twenty years.

FAREWELL MAESTRO !

ADIEU MAESTRO !
And it was as if nothing had happened ..... By quoting this sentence by Goethe after a battle that had opened up a new era of the world history, Frenchman Franois Thbaud, after watching England play Hungary, described with a striking accuracy the impression he had on Wednesday November 25, 1953, at exactly 16h01, along with the 100 000 spectators at Londons Wembley stadium. Nothing on the field, he wrote in the Miroir Sprint, where the veil of the night was falling, indicated that Mr Horns final whistle marked the end of an event that was to become henceforth famous in the history of sport.... The players with garnet-coloured shirts had some quick demonstration of a measured joy, then stood rigidly to attention to God Save the Queen beside the white shirted players. Then, the 22 players of the match exited quietly. The huge crowd gave the Hungarians, who were walking at the head, a standing ovation. They had just witnessed the match of the century, the real, the unique one, the one that had put an end to 90 years of the British football invincibility in its own kingdom, the match that henceforth would forbid Britain to call football our national game, the match that opened officially the era of football, the world sport. The Hungarians won because they were the strongest. Before the kick-off, the unshakeable confidence of the 100 000 partisans of the British invincibility was ... shaken. It was shaken even more when in the 25th minute of the game, the centre-forward Nandor Hidegkuti, served by Sandor Kocsis, dispatched with a dummy his marker Johnston and hit such a straight and accurate through-ball, from a distance of 20 metres, that the goalkeeper Merrick admitted defeat for the first time.And Hidegkuti, scoring a hat trick, gave him a deathblow after a lobbed pass by Ferenc Puskas. The Hungarians gave a lesson to those who were the inventors and masters of world football, thanks to their individual and collective intelligence of the game, the finesse of their touches, their swiftness in achievement, their accuracy in passes and speed of drawing away a marker, their instinct of dummying, their skill in dribbling, their kicking strength. No English player, even Blackpools wizard Stanley Matthews, had ever reached the level of Jozsef Bozsik, Puskas and Hidegkuti, no one among them surpassed Kocsis .... Bozsik was the soul and brain of the eleven Magyars in Wembley. Six months later, on May 23, 1954, in Budapests Nepstadion, the Hungarian Wunderteam confirmed its superiority by crushing England 7-1! Assuredly,. Thbaud wrote if the English invented football, it is the Hungarians who have understood it better. From this immortal team of the 50s, only Puskas, Gyula Grosics and Et ce fut comme si rien ne stait pass En citant cette phrase de Goethe crite la suite dune bataille qui avait ouvert une re nouvelle de lhistoire du monde, Franois Thbaud lun des observateurs franais du match Angleterre Hongrie a dpeint avec une frappante justesse limpression quil a ressentie le mercredi 25 novembre 1953, 16h 01 trs exactement, avec les 100 000 spectateurs du stade de Wembley, Londres. Rien sur la pelouse, crit-il dans Miroir Sprint, o tombait dj le voile de la nuit nindiquait que le coup de sifflet final de M. Horn marquait une minute dsormais fameuse de lhistoire du sport Les joueurs au maillot grenat esquissrent quelques manifestations dune joie mesure, puis se figrent en bon ordre aux cts des footballeurs la chemisette blanche pour entendre le God Save the Queen. Puis les vingt-trois acteurs du match prirent calmement le chemin de la sortie. Limmense foule, debout, fit une ovation aux Hongrois qui marchaient en tte. () Elle venait de vivre le match du sicle, le vrai, lunique, celui qui mettait fin quatre-vingt-dix ans dinvincibilit du football britannique dans son fief, celui qui interdit dornavant la Grande Bretagne dappeler le sport de la balle ronde our national game , celui qui ouvrait officiellement lre du football, sport du monde. () Les Hongrois ont gagnparce quils taient les plus forts. Avant le coup denvoi, linbranlable confiance des 100 000 partisans de linvincibilit britannique taitbranle. Elle le fut encore plus lorsqu la 45 seconde de jeu, le centre-avant Nandor Hidegkuti, servi par Sandor Kocsis, expdia dans le vent dune feinte de corps son adversaire direct Johnston et plaa de 20 mtres, dans louverture, un tir si tendu et si prcis que le gardien Merrick sinclina pour la premire fois. Il sinclinera six reprises. Et Hidegkuti auteur dun tripl, lui donnera le coup de grce suite une passe lobe de Ferenc Puskas. () En intelligence individuelle et collective du jeu, en finesse de touche, en rapidit dexcution, en prcision de passes et rapidit de dmarquage, en instinct de la feinte et en art du dribble, en puissance de tir, les Hongrois donnrent la leon ceux qui furent les inventeurs et les matres du football mondial. Aucun joueur anglais mme le sorcier de Blackpool, Stanley Matthews, natteignit le niveau de Jozsef Bozsik, Puskas et Hidegkuti, aucun deux ne dpassa KocsisBozsik fut lme et le cerveau du onze magyar Wembley. Six mois plus tard, le 23 mai 1954, au Nepstadion de Budapest, le Wunderteam hongrois confirmait sa supriorit et crasait lAngleterre : 7 1 ! Dcidemment, crit F.Thbaud, si les Anglais ont invent le football, ce sont les Hongrois qui lont le mieux compris. De cette quipe immortelle des annes 50, il ne reste plus aujourdhui que Puskas, Gyula Grosics et Jeno Buzanszky. Le 14 fvier dernier,

Jeno Buzansky are still alive. On February 14, Nandor Hidegkuti bowed out too, at the age of 75. He died from pulmonary and cardiac problems. Nandor Hidegkuti was born in Budapest on March 3, 1922. He wore the garnet-coloured shirt of the Hungarian team from 1945 to 1958, playing 68 matches and scoring 39 goals. He was an Olympic gold medalist in 1952 in Helsinki. Nandor made his debut at Ujlaki FC in 1934 before joining Gazmvek Budapest in 1940, Elektromos Budapest in 1943 and Herminamezi AC in 1945. From 1946 to 1958, he was at the height of his career at the famous MTK Budapest, winning three Hungarian championship (1951, 1953, 1957-58). He was named as the best Hungarian football player in 1953. He would also be an unlucky runner-up at the 1954 World Cup finals. After the tragic political events of 1956, which led to the dispersion of the Magyar Wunderteam, Hidegkuti was sought by several leading western European clubs, but he refused to go into exile. He played his last international match against Mexico (4-0) on June 4, 1958, in Sandviken during the World Cup finals in Sweden. With the great team of Hungary, Hidegkuti, the centre forward, was one of the main pieces in a tactical innovation that the Brazilians would take up to their advantage in 1958:The 4-2-4 system. Effectively, with the half-back Zakarias added to three established defenders, Buzansky, Gyula Lorant and Mihaly Lantos, the Hungarian team had adopted a plan with four defenders protecting the goalkeeper Grosics. In the middle of the field, Boszik constituted the heart of the offensive structure, flanked by Hidegkuti and Puskas, each of them capable of creating the through-ball.. Two real wings, Zoltan Czibor and Laszlo Budai (or Toth), a real strong centre-forward, Kocsis with the golden head, completed a quite new tactical strategy in 1953. An exceptional football player, Hidegkuti became an equally good coach. He left Hungary to exile in Florence where he led Fiorentina to the European Cup Winners Cup in 1961. But it was on the Nile banks that the Magyar football professor gave unsparingly his teaching. Hidegkuti contribured largely with Puskas to ensuring a 3-0 victory for the Hungarian team over Egypt and returned to Cairo 20 years later to coach the prestigious Al Ahli. There, he started forming two generations of talented football players and converted the team into one with an offensive and creative game. Among those touched by his genuis were the goalkeepers Ikramy and Thabet el Batal, the defenders Hassan Hamdi, Abdelbaki, Mostafa Younis and Maher Hamam, the half-backs Tahar el Sheikh, Mokhtar Mokhtar, Gamal Abdel Azim, Safwat Abdel Halim and Karn Shatta and the attackers Mostafa Abdou, Abdel Shafei Zizo and Sherif Abdel Moneim. It is not an over statement to say that the revival of Al Ahli in the 70s and 80s carries Hidgkutis signature. He won five championships with the Cairene club. When he left Al Ahli, the Hungarian had not only given the club a distinctive style and a tactical identity (unfortunately today erased by the Anglo-Saxon experts who came after him) but also formed competent technicians to follow him as coach, such as Mahmoud Al Gohari. Returning to Hungary, Hidegkuti took Gyr Eto to a national title and then coached at Tabanya.

Hidegkuti with El Gohary of Egypt

Nandor Hidegkuti tira son tour sa rvrence, soixante-dix-neuf ans. Il succomba de graves problmes pulmonaires et cardiaques. Nandor Hidegkuti est n le 3 mars 1922 Budapest. Il a port le maillot grenat de la slection de 1945 1958, disput 68 matchs et inscrit 39 buts dont les trois cits plus haut face lAngleterre Wembley. Champion olympique en 1952 Helsinki, Nandor a fait ses dbuts de joueur en 1934 au Ujlaki FC avant de rejoindre en 1940 Gazmvek Budapest, Elektromos Budapest en 1943, Herminamezei AC en 1945. Il a effectu, de 1946 1958, lessentiel de sa carrire au clbre MTK Budapest (ex-Voros Lobogos) , remportant trois championnats de Hongrie (1951, 1953, 1957-58). Il est champion olympique Helsinki en 1952 et est lu meilleur footballeur hongrois en 1953. Il sera aussi finaliste malheureux de la Coupe du monde 1954. Aprs les tragiques vnements de 1956 qui entranrent, entre autres, la dispersion du Wunderteam magyar, Hidegkuti fut sollicit par plusieurs grands clubs dEurope de lOuest, mais il refusa de sexiler. Il disputa son ultime rencontre internationale face au Mexique (4-0), le 4 juin 1958, Sandviken dans le cadre de la Coupe du monde. Avec la grande quipe de Hongrie, Hidegkuti avant-centre nominal, aura t lune des pices matresses dune innovation tactique que les Brsiliens reprendront leur compte en 1958 : le 4-2-4. En effet, avec le demi dfensif Zakarias qui sajoutait aux trois arrires nominaux Buzanszky, Gyula Lorant et Mihaly Lantos, le onze hongrois avait adopt un dispositif quatre arrires protgeant le gardien de but Grosics. Au milieu du terrain, Boszik constituait llment permanent de la construction offensive, flanqu alternativement par Hidegkuti et Puskas, lun et lautre capables de crer louverture que de lexploiter par des tirs fulgurants. Deux ailiers vritables de dbordement Zoltan Czibor et Laszlo Budai (ou Toth), un vritable avant-centre de pointe, Kocsis la tte dor, compltaient un dispositif tactique parfaitement indit en 1953. Footballeur dexception, Hidegkuti deviendra un matre entraneur. Il quitta la Hongrie pour sexiler Florence o il dirigea la Fiorentina avec laquelle il remporta la Coupe dEurope des vainqueurs de coupe en 1961. Mais ce fut sur les bords du Nil que le professeur magyar s-ballon prodigua le plus longtemps son enseignement. Celui qui, le 12 fvrier 1954, avait contribu largement (avec Puskas) la victoire de lquipe de Hongrie sur lEgypte (3-0) revint vingt ans aprs au Caire pour diriger le prestigieux Nadi al Ahly. Il entreprit dy former deux gnrations de footballeurs talentueux quil sut convertir au jeu offensif et cratif et nous citons les gardiens de but Ikramy et Thabet al Batal, les dfenseurs Hassan Hamdi, Abdelbaki, Mostafa Younis et Maher Hamam, les demis Tahar al Sheikh, Mokhtar Mokhtar, Gamal Abdel Azim, Safwat Abdel Halim et Karn Shatta et les attaquants Mostafa Abdou, Abdel Shafei Zizo , Mahmoud al Khatib Bibo et autre Sherif Abdel Monein. Il nest pas exagr daffirmer que le renouveau dal Ahly dans les annes 70 et 80 porte la griffe de Hidegkuti qui remportera cinq titres de champion avec le club cairote. Lorsquil quitta Nadi al Ahly, le Hongrois aura non seulement donn un style de jeu et une identit tactique au club (aujourdhui, hlas, effacs par les experts anglo-saxons qui lui succdrent) mais aussi form des techniciens comptents dignes de prendre la relve lexemple de Mahmoud al Gohary. Rentr en Hongrie, Hidegkuti dirigea Gyr Eto (un titre de champion) puis Tatabanya. Faouzi Mahjoub

WHISTLES, WRONG OR RIGHT ..


R
efereeing raises controversy, exacerbates passions and sometimes provokes serious incidents in the stadia. It is a real problem for African football. It is advisable to analyse it thoroughly, because the haste by which African referees are demolished or belittled without appeal is excessive, even intolerable, especially by those who lay all the blame for the worlds refereeing ills on Africa. Whereos it deals with the football planet. We are not the referees enemies. We know that one can play good football without coaches, without financial or political support, but it is impossible to do without a referee who embodies the laws of the game. On the field, the referee is the Authority. He is the one who must be obeyed. But what is the justification for handing over such power to the 23rd man on the football pitch? Two essential qualities: His knowledge of the laws of the game His faculty in applying them with impartiality. The referees at the African Nations Cup, or the club competitions, possess in majority without doubt, the first of these qualities. The theoretical and practical tests they undergo, the courses they attend at every grade of their promotion offer quite serious guarantees on the level of their knowledge of the laws of the game. But concerning their ability to apply them with impartiality, one is less optimistic. It is not that we are calling in question the fundamental honesty of the majority of referees, neither their intention of performing their duties properly nor the courage risks that they sometimes have to take. Imposing the respect of the laws of the game upon 22 players, who often have an incomplete knowledge of them, is not always easy. It often happens also that during some matches the referee is subjected to ill treatment from some players. But things get peculiarly worse when the public, who came to watch their team, try to sway the referee with their own sentiment, mostly based on an ignorance of the laws of the game and on partial spirit. When this public turns into a enormous crowd, over-excited by chauvinism, when the wager or the lure of winning blinds them, imagine what a tremendous psychological pressure there is on a referee. Some 30 000, 50 000 or 80 000 determinant wills against a single one. There cannot be any fair struggle. No possible refereeing. When the great majority of the public, heated by the media or by unscrupulous managers, are whipped up by a fierce determination to see their team win, the best referee in the world cannot resist and makes the concessions the crowd demands. He will whistle for a handling of the ball that he knows fully well to be unintentional because 50 000 or 80 000 voices are demanding it. He will grant the benefit of a penalty to a player who has dived into the penalty area because thousands of voices are demanding it. He will give an illegitimate goal by the local team or invalidate one properly scored by the visiting team. He will tolerate all the irregularities of the local players because the crowd is demanding it. He will shower yellow or red cards on the visitors as well.... Then what remains from his sacrosanct authority? Nothing. There is also ambiguity in the understanding of the referees authority. What some understand by authority is not power based upon the knowledge of the laws and their uncompromising application, but rather an authoritarian attitude. That is to say, they succumb to a taste for authority, a feeling more related to vanity. The mistake of many referees, in Africa and elsewhere, is to believe they are lead actors of the match. Journalists and other members of the media have created and maintained this illusion. Do not the majority of columnists pronounce on the referees judgements in the same way as they analyse the performance of players?. Some give marks to referees and even establish classification! Good refereeing, which should be a common practice, should never be mentioned and that was the case at Mali 2002. If the respect of the laws of the game was secured during the game, is that then not the minimum? It is only in an unusual situation, when the laws of the game have been violated with impunity, that it is appropriate to pronounce on the deficiency of the referees performance (which is really up to the match commissioners or the refereeing inspectors judgement). But if we refuse to give the referee the small satisfaction of vanity, what will remain for him? Having agreed that that his role is neither enviable, nor agreeable, but on the contrary, unrewarding and often dangerous, isnt it fair that he also benefits from the same level of compensation earned by players, coaches and even managers? No, because the roles and responsibilities should be well defined and well delimited. The players are the only actors of a match. The referee can only be the incarnation of the laws that govern the actors game. Does this means that the only satisfaction football can offer the referee is that of a job well done? No, of course not. His current status as an amateur does not

S I F F L E TS, FA U S S E S et BONNES NOTES..


L
arbitrage soulve des controverses, exacerbe les passions et parfois provoque des incidents plus ou moins graves dans les stades. Cest un vrai problme qui se pose au football africain. Il convient de bien lanalyser, car la hte avec laquelle les arbitres africains sont dmolis ou rabaisss sans recours est excessive, voire intolrable surtout de la part de ceux qui circonscrivent la maladie du sifflet lAfrique alors quelle touche toute la plante foot. Nous ne sommes pas ici des ennemis des arbitres. Nous savons que si lon peut fort bien jouer au football sans entraneur, sans dirigeant financier ou politique, il est pour linstant, et sans doute pour longtemps, encore impossible de se passer de larbitre qui incarne les lois du jeu. Sur le terrain, larbitre cest lAutorit. LAutorit, cest le pouvoir de se faire obir. Quest-ce qui justifie la remise dun tel pouvoir aux mains du vingttroisime homme dun match de foot ? Deux qualits essentielles : sa connaissance des lois du jeu, sa facult de les faire appliquer avec impartialit. Les arbitres des rencontres des Coupes dAfrique des nations ou des clubs, par exemple, possdent dans leur majorit, incontestablement la premire de ces qualits. Les examens thoriques et pratiques quils subissent, les stages quils suivent chaque chelon de leur avancement offrent des garanties assez srieuses sur le plan de leurs connaissances des lois du jeu. En ce qui concerne la facult de les faire appliquer avec impartialit, il convient dtre moins optimiste. Non que nous mettons en doute lhonntet foncire de limmense majorit des arbitres, ni leur volont de remplir leur tche, mme en affrontant avec courage des risques qui ne sont pas ngligeables. Imposer le respect des lois du jeu vingt-deux joueurs qui nen ont trs souvent quune connaissance trs incomplte , nest pas toujours facile. Il arrive souvent aussi que dans des matchs, larbitre subisse des svices de la part de certains joueurs. Mais les choses saggravent singulirement partir du moment o le public, venu pour voir gagner son quipe, tente dimposer larbitre une volont qui repose sur lignorance des lois du jeu et sur lesprit partisan. Lorsque ce public devient une foule norme, surexcite par le chauvinisme, lorsque lenjeu ou lappt du gain achvent de laveugler, imaginez quelle formidable pression psychologique va subir la volont de larbitre. 30 000, 50 000 ou 80 000 volonts contre une seule. Il ny a pas de lutte possible. Pas darbitrage possible. Lorsque la grande majorit du public, chauffe par les mdias ou par des dirigeants peu scrupuleux, est anime par la volont farouche de faire gagner son quipe, le meilleur arbitre du monde ne peut pas rsister et fait les concessions quelle exige. Il sifflera telle faute de main quil sait pertinnement ne pas tre intentionnelle parce que 50 000 ou 80 000 voix lexigent. Il accordera le bnfice dun penalty un joueur qui a plong dans la surface de rparation parce que des dizaines de milliers de voix lexigent. Il validera un but pourtant obtenu irrgulirement par lquipe locale ou il invalidera un autre obtenu rgulirement par la formation visiteuse. Il tolrera toutes les irrgularits des joueurs locaux parce que la foule lexige. Comme il fera pleuvoir des cartons jaunes ou rouges sur les visiteurs Que reste-t-il alors de la sacro-sainte autorit ? Rien. En fait, dans lesprit de la quasi-totalit des arbitres, il y a quivoque. Ce quils entendent par autorit nest nullement le pouvoir fond sur la connaissance des lois et leur application intransigeante, cest lautoritarisme, cest--dire le got de lautorit, un sentiment qui sapparente beaucoup la vanit. Le tort de beaucoup darbitres, en Afrique et ailleurs, cest de se prendre pour des acteurs du match. Linconscience jointe linculture sportive de la majorit des journalistes dits spcialiss (de lcrit ou de laudiovisuel) ont cr et entretenu cette illusion. La plupart des chroniqueurs ne formulent-ils pas sur les arbitres des jugements comparables ceux quils consacrent aux joueurs : arbitrage magistral (ou bon, ou moyen, ou approximatif, ou mauvais, mdiocre, ou catastrophique.) de M. X ? Dautres donnent des notes aux arbitres et tablissent mme un classement ! Le bon arbitrage, qui devrait tre monnaie courante, ne devrait jamais tre mentionn et ce fut le cas lors de Mali 2002. Si le respect des lois du jeu a t garanti au cours de la partie, nest-ce pas la moindre des choses ? Cest seulement dans une situation anormale, lorsque les lois du jeu ont t violes impunment quil convient de faire tat de lexistence de larbitrage et de son insuffisance (laquelle est laisse lapprciation des commissaires de match ou des inspecteurs). Mais si lon refuse larbitre les petites satisfactions de la vanit, que va-t-il lui rester ? Ayant convenu que son rle ntait ni enviable, ni agrable, mais au contraire, ingrat et souvent dangereux, nest-ce pas une injustice son gard que de lui refuser les compensations que lon accorde aux joueurs, aux entraneurs et mme aux dirigeants ? Non. Parce quil faut que les rles et les responsabilits soient bien dfinis et bien

dlimits. Seuls les acteurs dun match sont les joueurs. Larbitre ne peut tre que lincarnation des lois qui rgissent le jeu des acteurs. Est-ce dire que la seule satisfaction que le football peut apporter larbitre est celle du devoir accompli ? Non, bien sr. La qualit officielle damateur ne garantit plus limpartialit des arbitres des grands matchs. Un statut officiel de professionnels permettrait de leur offrir la lgitime compensation dun travail ingrat, obscur mais indispensable. Certes la professionnalisation du corps arbitral se situera dans la logique de lvolution du football et rpondra aux impratifs du progrs technique. Elle sera bnfique pour notre sport dautant que les critres de slection privilgieront la seule comptence aux dpens de la prsance. Seulement de lavis de beaucoup, le passage au professionnalisme ne pourra tre instaur que si la FIFA sengage prendre en charge, au plan international, la rmunration du nouveau corps arbitral . Pour le moment, elle semble prte assurer 50% des salaires. Les associations nationales africaines pourront-elles payer le complment ? Et si elles nen ont pas les moyens, on assistera immanquablement une fracture entre les fdrations nanties et les autres avec le risque pour ces dernires dtre exclues de larbitrage mondial. En dpit de ces rserves, la professionnalisation, au plan moral dlivrerait les arbitres du complexe de frustration dont ils semblent souffrir vis--vis des joueurs quils soient des amateurs retribus ou des professionnels. Elle les mettrait aussi labri des tentations et dissuaderait ceux qui font commerce du trafic dinfluence. Sur un plan, larbitre, pour servir le football doit tre parfaitement au cours de lvolution du jeu et des rglements. Son rle doit sattacher protger le vritable esprit du jeu et les joueurs qui lincarnent. Il est tout aussi essentiel dans la rpression de lanti-jeu et des manquements au fair play. Las, souvent les faits dmontrent une fcheuse tendance au laxisme. Les spcialistes de lanti-jeu ne sont pas toujours mis hors dtat de nuire. Maintes fois, lexclusion frappe le joueur coupable de protestation ou dincorrection verbale ladresse de larbitre que celui coupable dagression sur la personne physique dun adversaire ou dactes avilissant son sport. Les arbitres subissent, bon gr mal gr la pression dintrts particuliers ou nationaux. Certains dirigeants, des mdias intresss ou irresponsables les incitent composer avec lanti-jeu, favoriser la tricherie et mme fausser un rsultat. Pour que les lois du jeu soient respectes, il ne suffit pas de sanctionner les arbitres dfaillants ou d'assainir le milieu des arbitres, de leur fournir des moyens de jugement dune prcision la mesure des progrs et de limportance des rencontres quils dirigent. Il faut lutter sans relche contre le chauvinisme, contre lintrusion des politiciens et des forces de largent qui rendent rellement difficile la tche des arbitres. Il faut moderniser et rationaliser les mthodes de leur slection et de leur dsignation, reviser les barmes des notes que leur attribuent ceux qui les supervisent et qui en principe doivent tre plus verss dans larbitrage queux. Il faut garantir aux meilleurs sifflets des plans de carrire internationale qui ne souffrent pas la complaisance. Il faut responsabiliser les arbitrer et leur viter dtre les objets dintolrables trafics dinfluence. Il faut les respecter, les protger. De leur probit dpendent le progrs et la bonne sant du football. Mali 2002 a montr la voie. Faouzi Mahjoub

guarantee any more the impartiality of the leading referees in the world. But upgrading their status to that of professionals would allow the opportunity to offer them a rightful compensation for an unrewarding, but essential job. Certainly, the professionalisation of the refereeing body is logical in the evolution of football evolution and will meet the requirements of technical progress too. It will be beneficial for our sport as the selection criteria will favour competence at the expense of precedence. Only, according to the opinion of many, can the transition to professionalism be installed if FIFA commits itself to taking charge, at the international level, of the remuneration of the professional referees. For the moment, it seems ready to undertake 50% of the salaries. Could the African national associations pay the balance? And if they do not have the means, we shall inevitably witness a fracture between the have and have not federations with the risk of having the latter to be excluded from world refereeing. Despite these reservations, professionalisation, on the moral level, would liberate the referees from the frustration they seem to suffer in front of the professional players. It would protect them from temptation and deter those who try to influence them. To better serve football, the referee should be perfectly aware of the evolution of the game and its regulations. His role is to protect the real spirit of the game and the players that represent it. He is also essential in the repression of the breaches of fair play. Alas, facts often show an unpleasant tendency to laxity. Those who specialise in breaking the rules of the game and breaching the spirit of fair play are not always competently dealt with. Referees face, whether they like it or not, the pressures of particular or national interests. Some managers or irresponsible media induce them to compromise the laws of fair play, favour cheating and even alter a result. In order to have the laws of the game respected, it is not enough to sanction the defective referees or to clean up their ranks. They must also be provided with a proper means of a thorough judgement, which assesses their progress and the importance of the matches they conduct. One should fight relentlessly against chauvinism, against the intrusion of politicians and the power of the money, which makes the referees job really hard. One should modernise and rationalise the methods of their selection and their match designation, revise the assessment form which those who supervise them have to fill inand ensure the match commissioners who assess them should be more proficient in refereeing than they are. One should guarantee the best referees plans for an international career that has no complacency. One should make referees aware of their responsibilities and avoid letting them become objects of intolerable influences. One should respect them and protect them. Progress and healthy football depends on this. Mali 2002 has paved the way. Faouzi Mahjoub
