Corruption and bad governance drain resources and snuff out merit. Without accountable leadership, youth and women's access crumble, and soccer can't rise.
Corruption cuts, but culture crowns the game. If the people worship other sports, honest rule can't conjure soccer from thin air.
Culture guides effort; clean governance won't plant a soccer culture from thin air. If soccer isn't the people's heartbeat, talent withers and champions stay distant.
