I’ve never considered why Argentina’s national team has never had any Black players, at least in my lifetime, and compared to its South American neighbours like Brazil, Uruguay, and Chile.

Whilst neighbouring Uruguay and Brazil have had plenty of black footballers, including their greatest players of all time in the forms of Pele and Jose Andrade, the same cannot be said for Argentina.

Despite sharing a similar colonial past to their near neighbours, Argentina’s black population is a fraction of the nation’s around them, and following a question from a subscriber during the 2018 World Cup, HITC Sevens takes a look at why that is the case.

Governments treating Black enslaved people like shit and that behaviour and attitude continuing for centuries after it was abolished
A smaller population of Black people in comparison to other countries on the continent (Afro-Argentines, for example, accounted for 0.37% of Argentina’s population as of the 2010 census). This means an even lower chance of any Black players making their way through the ranks and making a name for themselves in order to get selected alongside possible racial bias amongst scouts and officials
I hope this will change in the future but I hope Black lives will start to matter more in Argentina first.

And some Africa will still side Argentina to win world cup

Why doesn't Ghana, Senegal and others have a white player

They killed off all black migrants in Argentina centuries ago

If they showed interest, they will get a place on the team

This is how africans make themselves a subject of unwarranted RACISM.

Why is it that when european nations are good at sth, africans will ask this type of question: Why is a black not there?
Africans should develop themselves to be a better continent and not shouting RACISM.

Where were you when Europeans were developing their national teams themselves?

True talk.

Today, most of us are in churches following bishops and men of gods while other people are developing themselves in sciences.
Our futur looks very bleak unless the so called church raptured occurs.

It is what it is.... Argentina is racist Fam.... They killed the blacks in their country
