Youths play football on a field that was once part of a military barracks, in the village of Dulombi, Galomaro, Guinea-Bissau.
The barracks housed members of the Portuguese military, before Guinea-Bissau gained its independence in 1974.
Football is the most popular amateur sport in the world, and some of Africa’s stars in the sport began their careers in just such informal settings.
Through our education programs, the World Press Photo Foundation encourages diverse accounts of the world that present stories with different perspectives.
Our exhibitions showcase stories that make people stop, feel, think and act to a worldwide audience.
Our annual contest recognizes and rewards the best in photojournalism and documentary photography.
