Crowd Abuse, Uganda on the Up and Fifa Under Pressure

BBC World Service - World Football, Crowd Abuse, Uganda on the Up and Fifa Under Pressure

Has the hatred inside football grounds gone too far?

Reaction to the shocking chants aimed at Emmanuel Adebayor, Fifa's President under pressure and the uplifting story of Ugandan football.

Kodjovi Obilale, the goalkeeper who was shot twice during last year's ambush on the Togo team bus, tells us how upset he was by the abuse given to his former intertnational team-mate Emmanuel Adebayor.

He accuses Arsenal fans of "condoning terrorism".

We'll also be finding out Uganda's secret to success - with the country's national team on the verge of qualifying for its first major tournament since 1978.

And Fifa is accused of failing to take corruption seriously and putting the game at risk.

Presented by Alan Green.
