A World At Their Feet: African Soccer During the Cold War

Welcome to A World At Their Feet. In this limited series, host Evan Atchison explores the extraordinary stories of African Soccer During the Cold War. Through four case studies, Atchison tells stories of African soccer's intersection with politics, culture, and society from 1945-1990. Wars of Independence, Pan-Africanism, and kleptocratic dictators are just three themes of a complicated, nuanced history of African soccer.
