Sport… a universal communion, beyond political
regimes, religions…
The transferal of players from one continent to another,
first from North Africa then from sub-Saharan Africa, the call,
thanks to Spain and Portugal, of South America, while players from
the Far East, China, Japan, or South Korea now join European soccer
clubs, enriching English, French, German or Italian clubs with
their talent.
And then, sometimes sparked off by national political
clashes, and also now by confrontations between States and Nations,
these translate in violent demonstrations, seemingly unrelated to
each other.
The most recent example took place on the “black”
Saturday evening of October 28, 2023 in Marseille, where tragedy
was narrowly averted1.
