Sport’s role in nation-building is multi-faceted: a victory in a major international sporting event is of national importance. One of Africa’s great statesmen, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah once said he had a dream of a ‘united African country’ where sport would play a vital role in forging the youth into one nation. According to Nkrumah, ‘sporting success gives dignity and pride’. In 1960, when the Ghana national football team made a tour of Europe, Nkrumah instructed them to go and correct the Europeans’ prejudices about Africa. He saw sport as the first step towards building a formidable team which could contribute to the emancipation of Africa.
