“ Today’s modern sport system has lost all traces of social value and gradually is losing anything remotely positive about it. Football in Italy has become a degrading experience and we feel that starting from the bottom we can bring about change and promote a sport which is of a social value. The same is happening in other cities all over Italy. From an interesting read on a new club in Italy, Spartak Lecce. (via pitchinvasion)

Wonderful images of African grassroots football taken by photographer Jessica Hilltout. You can see more photos over on her website in a collection called amen. There’s a book too Amen - Grassroots Football in Africa by Jessica Hilltout which is an essential addition to any discerning football fan’s library.
