Meet the football grannies of Africa

They may not have the skills of Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo, but that hasn't stopped these African grannies from practising their tackling and passing skills.

It has been the work of 57-year-old Rebecca Ntsanwisi from South Africa to set up "soccer grannies" teams across the continent in a bid to improve the mental and physical health of older women.

Now, five teams from Africa are currently taking part in the Soccer Grannies World Cup tournament in the South African province of Limpopo, where the oldest player is over 80.

Football has given the grannies a new lease of life.
