Et si … on améliorait le football de ce côté sud-est de l’Afrique?

A mi-chemin de la deuxième tour des éliminatoires pour la CAN/Mondial 2010, on peut constater que les équipes de football de l’Océan Indien ont sombré. Ce côté sud est du continent a fait une bien piètre prestation, si on comptabilise les efforts de l’Afrique du Sud, Madagascar, Maurice et Seychelles.
12 matches, 1 victoire attribuée à l’Afrique du Sud, 4 nuls (dont la plupart sont des matches nuls, dans l’autre sens du terme), et 7 défaites. En mathématique, cela fait 7 sur 36, plus précisément sept points sur un maximum théorique de 36. Sur ce point, on pourra briller dans les Jeux des Iles de l’Océan Indien, mais au niveau continental, on restera toujours les petis poucets.
Face à Madagascar, les Ivoiriens ont avoué qu’on a un bon jeu, mais c’est l’expérience des matches internationaux qui ferait défaut. Ils ont sûrement raison, mais comment faire des matches internationaux si aucune équipe de cette région n’est capable d’évoluer dans les phases finales de la CAN? A ce rythme, le fossé risque de s’élargir entre le nord et le sud du continent. Pour Madagascar en particulier, je crois que les tournois Cosafa Castle Cup a été pour quelque chose dans l’évolution de son football, car, quoi qu’on dise, on a un léger mieux, ce n’est pas brillant du tout, mais ce n’est pas catastrophique non plus, enfin, … pour l’instant.
Et si … on essayait de multiplier les rencontres internationaux? Et comment?
Voici une proposition de ma part, utopique peut-être, mais mériterait d’un “pourquoi pas”, de mon “pourquoi pas” au moins.
Tous les 2 ans, on participe à des matches internationaux pour les éliminatoires à la CAN. Tous les 4 ans (année 4n - 1), on a les jeux des îles de l’Océan Indien. Il y a aussi le tournoi Cosafa Castle Cup auquel il faut s’attacher. Et si … en plus, on organisait un autre tournoi, tous les 4 ans (4n + 1). Le tournoi s’appelerait “The Indian Ocean Invitational”, et ce serait un tournoi de football organisé par les fédérations de football de l’Océan Indien (Comores, Madagascar, Maurice, Seychelles) avec en plus, et pour se démarquer des Jeux des Iles, l’Afrique du Sud. (Et une entente La Réunion/Maldives/Mayotte?). En plus de ces équipes, on inviterait une ou deux équipes venant peut-être d’une autre confédération faire partie ponctuelle de ce tournoi. Par exemple, pour l’édition 2009, on inviterait le Singapour et la Thailande? Des équipes européennes du genre Luxembourg, qui, comme nous, n’arrivent pas à se faire remarquer au niveau de leur continent, se plairaient-elles à participer à ce genre de tournoi? Avouez que les Îles de l’Océan Indien ont de belles plages et des bons sites touristiques, si ce n’est pas pour le football, ce serait au moins pour les vacances.
Les avantages d’un tel tournoi seraient:
. Minimisation des dépenses en frais de déplacement, car il s’agit d’un tournoi régional.
. Possibilité de faire des matches officiels avec des équipes avec lesquelles on risque de ne jamais rencontrer autrement.
. Vue l’affluence à Mahamasina lors des rencontres internationaux, même lors des Jeux des Iles, la fédération qui héberge le tournoi pourrait y gagner des sous, du moins lors des matches des équipes hôtes.
