This article considers the history of these clubs and their championships by focusing on the city of Dakar and its fast-growing suburbs, Pikine and Guédiawaye. Research on thenavétanes…
Global Perspectives on Football in Africa
Football, in many ways, is a visual endeavour.

Transforming urban landscapes
Vacant spaces in urban landscapes are not so much ‘empty’ places reserved for future constructions, but rather provide arenas for social and cultural practices which transform the vacant plots into sites with multiple functions and meaning. The example of neighbourhood youth clubs in the agglomeration of Pikine/Guédiawaye, a fast growing suburban area of Dakar (Senegal), demonstrates how young people use the ever decreasing number of ‘empty’ spac…
