When you hear of the number 23, what comes to mind?

If you thought of Jordans or NBA basketball, you are not widely off, it just shows you are not infected with the world cup fever yet, no need to worry though! it will get to you when the time is right!


In the meantime just lend me your time and read some facts about the world cup  I've managed to gather from 1000s of hours spent at the Library ( 10mins on Google)

#1

Did you know the world cup was not held in 1942 and 1946 due to the second world war and its Aftermath?
Germany and Brazil pledged to host the 1942 and 1946 tournament respectively but due to the war started by Nazi Germany, the intercontinental tournament was put on hold and later revived in 1950.

 Brazil was given the nod to host this tournament as they were the team to have hosted the 1946 tournament. 


Thank you for reading and I hope you come back for more.

Africa Exports More Players But Gets Little In Return - FIFA

Africa has been identified as one of the leading exporters of football players to Europe and elsewhere, but gets little in return. Mr. Gianni Infantino - President of International Football Federation Association (FIFA) made this known on Monday, February 3, when he met over 300 journalists at the 83rd International Sports Press Association (AIPS) Congress in Budapest, Hungary. He said, Africa has not gained much from player exports due to the operations of some football agents who lure players to sign crazy contracts, whilst others are signed at a very tender age.

Kwasi Appiah Offers CK Akonnor Black Stars Advice

The 59-year-old has refused to close the door on the Black Stars for good.   Former Ghana coach James Kwesi Appiah is not ruling out another stint with the Black Stars. The 59-year-old brought a two-year stint to an end on December 31, 2019 as the Ghana Football Association (GFA) decided against renewing his contract. It was his second spell in charge of the Black Stars following a first tenure between 2012 and 2014. ''I am a professional coach. I haven’t said I have resigned [from coaching].
