african arenas
the enthusiasm and passion with which soccer is played in africa are inevitably transferred to the onlooker. thomas Hoeffgen experienced the same thing when he flew to nigeria in 1999 for a story on soccer. he became so interested in the subject that he spent the next several years taking unusual, direct photographs of players and spectators in nigeria, namibia, botswana, zambia, malawi, and south africa. hoeffgen’s images take us from the continent’s typical improvised sandlots with their two wooden posts forming a makeshift goal to the concrete stadiums in the city with their floodlights and grandstands.
