Il suffit de traverser n’importe quel quartier de Bangui en fin d’apr\u00e8s-midi pour comprendre \u00e0 quel point le football irrigue le quotidien centrafricain. Sur des terrains vagues, entre les flaques et les tas de sable, des dizaines de gamins tapent dans un ballon souvent rafistol\u00e9, r\u00eavant des Fauves et des grands championnats europ\u00e9ens qu’ils suivent, tant bien que mal, sur des \u00e9crans de fortune. Cette passion populaire, intacte malgr\u00e9 les ann\u00e9es de crise, m\u00e9rite mieux qu’un simple satisfecit r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement resservi \u00e0 chaque grand tournoi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le lancement de la Super Ligue, cette saison, a eu le m\u00e9rite de tirer le championnat national vers le haut sur le papier : douze clubs, une formule plus structur\u00e9e, des ambitions de semi-professionnalisation. Mais il ne faudrait pas se payer de mots. Une r\u00e9forme de format ne suffit pas \u00e0 combler des d\u00e9cennies de sous-investissement dans les infrastructures sportives de base, ces terrains de quartier et ces stades de province o\u00f9 se fabriquent, en r\u00e9alit\u00e9, les premiers gestes techniques des futurs s\u00e9lectionnables. Tant que les clubs de l’int\u00e9rieur du pays devront composer avec des pelouses impraticables, des vestiaires inexistants et des budgets de mis\u00e8re, la Super Ligue restera une belle vitrine pos\u00e9e sur des fondations fragiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Il y a quelque chose d’\u00e0 la fois admirable et frustrant dans la mani\u00e8re dont le football centrafricain continue de produire des talents malgr\u00e9 tout, sans m\u00e9rite particulier des institutions cens\u00e9es les accompagner. Chaque g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de Fauves capable de tenir t\u00eate \u00e0 des s\u00e9lections mieux loties rappelle ce que ce pays pourrait accomplir avec un minimum de continuit\u00e9 dans l’investissement sportif. Ce n’est pas une question de moyens colossaux : un terrain stabilis\u00e9 et \u00e9clair\u00e9 dans chaque grand quartier de Bangui, une poign\u00e9e d’\u00e9ducateurs form\u00e9s et r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s correctement, des comp\u00e9titions jeunes organis\u00e9es avec r\u00e9gularit\u00e9 suffiraient d\u00e9j\u00e0 \u00e0 changer la donne sur une d\u00e9cennie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Le football ne r\u00e9glera pas, \u00e0 lui seul, les difficult\u00e9s structurelles de la Centrafrique. Mais dans un pays qui a cruellement besoin d’espaces de coh\u00e9sion et de fiert\u00e9 partag\u00e9e, il serait dommage de continuer \u00e0 traiter ce sport comme un suppl\u00e9ment d’\u00e2me plut\u00f4t que comme un investissement de long terme. Les enfants qui jouent aujourd’hui sur les terrains vagues de Bangui ne demandent pas de miracle : ils demandent qu’on prenne enfin leur passion au s\u00e9rieux.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
