With the African Nations Cup about to kick off this weekend in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, it’s time to put the spotlight on Yaya Touré, the Ivorian international and Man City midfielder. In this part of a longer interview produced by his new endorser — Puma, an expanding commercial force in African football — the best-paid player in the English Premier League reflects on growing up in Ivory Coast, learning the game in Bouake, and then moving to big-time football in Abidjan.

Thanks to Tom McCabe for telling me about this interview.

The Adidas Puma war slipped into South Africa early in the new year.  Skirmishes were expected, though few would have predicted a Zulu Puma alliance.  Here’s South African President Jacob Zuma showing he can kick it during his New Year wedding ceremony in the village of Nklandla.  His Excellency’s hamstring came through a late fitness test, though his overall match fitness has never been in doubt.
