    the Sudanese are football fanatics. The capital has the most famous teams : Mereikh, Hilal, Mourada, Tahrir, Khartoum Talata.
    In the provinces are Itihad [Wad Medani], Gezirat el Fil, [Wad Medani], El Nil,[ Wad medani]; Hai el Arab [Port Sudan],el Amel [Atbara] and Katur[ Juba]. Each team has its own slogan.

    However, there are football teams attached to most villages and as you drive along before sunset, you see boys playing on pitches with a couple of goalposts and maybe a few old car or lorry tyres marking boundaries or where spectators can watch. The dust rises from their feet [often bare] as the youngsters make a pass at the ball.

    Equipment: goal posts and a ball are essential. Anything else is welcome!

     Shane- interesting page on this unknown (to me) place. The scorpion & cemetary tips are particuarly interesting. However- from your shopping tip-well-I would NOT be tempted to buy spare parts & tyres lol!    		evaanna Sun Jan 6, 2008 09:33 UTC
     Interesting mosques and gubbas. The cemeteries look different from the European ones, but do we need anything more after death? I didn't realise travelling on Sudanese roads can be so dangerous, and when I think of the scorpions... Interesting updates.

     Learnt more of life in Sudan after reading this page. Thanks for sharing. At least, it is easy to play football so much open space.    		Ekaterinburg Sun Aug 5, 2007 00:44 UTC
     It's very interesting to read about a place and culture I know so little about. Thanks for sharing this information :))
