Il y a quelque chose d’insupportable \u00e0 voir, ann\u00e9e apr\u00e8s ann\u00e9e, les m\u00eames appels \u00e0 l’aide venir des terrains poussi\u00e9reux de Bangui. Cette semaine encore, une \u00e9cole de football de quartier, celle du \u00ab Port de Douala \u00bb, a d\u00fb se r\u00e9soudre \u00e0 lancer un appel public pour obtenir de simples accessoires sportifs. Des ballons, des maillots, du mat\u00e9riel d’entra\u00eenement de base : rien de spectaculaire, seulement ce qu’il faut pour qu’un enfant puisse apprendre \u00e0 jouer dans des conditions dignes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ce n’est pas un cas isol\u00e9. C’est le sympt\u00f4me d’un pays qui c\u00e9l\u00e8bre r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement le talent de ses sportifs \u00e0 l’export, mais qui peine \u00e0 investir dans les infrastructures qui les ont vus na\u00eetre. On s’enthousiasme pour une qualification en volley-ball ou pour l’espoir d’une premi\u00e8re phase finale de Coupe d’Afrique des nations en football, tout en laissant les \u00e9coles de formation se d\u00e9brouiller avec des bouts de ficelle. La s\u00e9lection nationale elle-m\u00eame ne dispose plus, depuis 2021, d’un stade homologu\u00e9 par les instances africaines. Si le sommet de la pyramide manque \u00e0 ce point de moyens, que peut-on attendre de sa base ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Une question de priorit\u00e9s, pas de moyens<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le sport n’est pas un luxe accessoire dans une soci\u00e9t\u00e9 marqu\u00e9e par des ann\u00e9es de crise. C’est un espace o\u00f9 la jeunesse apprend la discipline, la solidarit\u00e9, le d\u00e9passement de soi, loin des tensions qui traversent par ailleurs le pays. Chaque terrain de quartier laiss\u00e9 \u00e0 l’abandon est une occasion manqu\u00e9e de canaliser l’\u00e9nergie d’une g\u00e9n\u00e9ration vers autre chose que l’oisivet\u00e9 ou l’exode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il ne s’agit pas n\u00e9cessairement de sommes colossales. Un partenariat avec une entreprise locale, une collecte associative, un geste de la diaspora suffiraient souvent \u00e0 \u00e9quiper durablement une \u00e9cole comme celle de Kpalongo. Ce qui manque, plus que l’argent, c’est une volont\u00e9 collective de consid\u00e9rer le sport de quartier comme une priorit\u00e9 et non comme une variable d’ajustement. Tant que ce choix ne sera pas fait, la Centrafrique continuera de produire des talents malgr\u00e9 son syst\u00e8me, jamais gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 lui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
