african grassroots football

Jessica Hilltout has published a book of photos about football/soccer outside the FIFA stadiums, all across Africa. Amen - Grass Roots Football.

This book pays homage to Africa. It is a tribute to the forgotten, to the majority.

All the people who live and will remain in the shadow of the World Cup deserve to have a light shone on them, not just for their passion for the game, but more so for the fundamental energy and enthusiasm that shines through the way they live.  

Here's a sample of some of the photos with accompanying soundtrack
