Football has long been an integral part of the social
fabric of the African nation of Cote d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast), but this year it
reached new heights fueled by its' national teams success at the African
Nation's cup and their qualification at the World Cup. Behind this success,
and the export of top quality Ivorian players to the European leagues, are
the more than 300 soccer academies that have sprung up across the capital,
Abidjan alone. An Ivorian teen heads a ball to pass the time in the Adjame
neighborhood of Abidjan, Ivory Coast, on Friday, Feb. 17, 2006. Football is
an integral part of the social fabric that makes up Ivorian society.
