Real Soccer Fields of South Africa, The

The real soccer fields of South Africa is a coffee-table book of photographs of soccer fields around South Africa. The focus of the title is on the fields and spaces used daily by the diverse people of South Africa, and less on the large stadiums and soccer clubs. A selection of articles and special features focus on the meaning of these spaces and the game of soccer to South Africans. While the title showcases many excellent photographs by Christiaan Vorster himself, it is a compilation of images from a diverse range of sources: Kick Off Magazine, The DreamFields Project, the Stellenbosch Academy of Design and Photography, the Extra-Mural Education Project, Scott Smith, and Colwyn Thomas, to name a few. More than celebrate the foundation of soccer in South Africa, the title will contribute to South African soccer pride by donating 10% sales to The Dreamfields Project, and facilitate exhibition of the work from EMEP.
