Résumé
The advent of the 2010 World Cup is indeed, in more ways than one, depicted as an accomplishment for the South Africans. In preparation for this event, many of the Municipal Councils which are depicted on the South African Tourist Map, propose offers capable of attracting foreign visitors. The purpose of the present study is to highlight the way in which one of the initiatives put in place by the Municipality of Stellenbosch, which itself considers Football as a "sport of the Black people", excludes a section of the people of this town who have been playing Football themselves since a long time. This study seeks to explore how, on the one hand, Football & its inclusion in the tourism sector, can rekindle the race barrier between the various south African communities of this provincial town & on the other hand the tensions which can emerge as a result.
