	Al-Ahram Weekly Front page A loser's game
		Kwame Nkrumah lobbied hard for Ghana to host the 4th Nations Cup in 1963, which coincided with the signing of the charter of the Organisation of African Unity, Nkrumah's brainchild.
		Ghana's star-studded national team, with Italian coach Giuseppe Dossena, didn't perform badly because Abedi Pele, the star of the 1992 Nations Cup and three times African Footballer of the Year, is no longer playing for his country.
		But if that is the case, then why have an African Nations Cup at all?There is another side to the debate, convoluted but no less valid, revolving around the ways in which sport, especially soccer, reflects the values prevalent in contemporary societies.

	Al-Ahram Weekly Sports Desperate defence of the cup
		Because of the meteoric rise in the level of African football, the African cup -- the three-week event beginning 22 January -- is arguably the third biggest global football event, surpassed only by the World Cup and the European Nations Championship.
		Despite the fact that Egypt goes to Nigeria as the defending champions of the African Nations Cup, both fans and media alike are spewing forth a plethora of reasons why Egyptian players will not necessarily return with the trophy.
		The African experiment in double hosting will prove a useful precedent for the other co-hosted football tournaments scheduled: Euro 2000, taking place in Holland and Belgium, and the 2002 World Cup, to be staged in Japan and South Korea.
