Crossing Continents: Ecuador

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Thanks to top goal-scorer Agustin Delgado of Southampton, Ecuador is in the World
Cup for the first time. Delgado, like many in the national team, comes from the country tiny black community. Linda Pressly visits the football school which Delgado has set up in his home village and meets the boys who hope to follow in his footsteps.
But will success in the World Cup translate into a wider acceptance of the black community which, until now, has been so marginalised by society?
