Football in Guinea-Bissau

03 March 2012

Dulombi, Guinea-Bissau

Youths play football on a field that was once part of a military barracks, in the village of Dulombi, Galomaro, Guinea-Bissau.

The barracks housed members of the Portuguese military, before Guinea-Bissau gained its independence in 1974. 

Football is the most popular amateur sport in the world, and some of Africa’s stars in the sport began their careers in just such informal settings.

Le football est le sport amateur le plus populaire au monde et certains grands footballeurs africains ont commencé leur carrière sur des terrains de fortune comme celui-ci.
