The image depicts an outdoor scene in Barakin Akawo, Nigeria, where a group of approximately eight male youths are gathered on a sandy dirt field, likely for a game of football. The time of day appears to be early morning or late afternoon, characterized by long shadows cast across the ground and a clear, light blue sky overhead. In the background, a large, light-colored building resembling a church is prominent, featuring a reddish-brown corrugated metal roof with a central peak topped by a cross. The building has multiple windows with reddish frames. To the right of the church, a smaller, single-story building with a light-colored, pyramidal roof and light brown walls is visible. A low, light-colored block wall separates the playing field from these structures. Overhead power lines traverse the upper portion of the background. In the left foreground, a young male, appearing to be between 10 and 14 years old, stands facing left, away from the camera. He wears a red and purple long-sleeved football jersey with visible club and brand logos, light blue shorts, black Adidas-branded knee-high socks with white stripes, and blue football cleats. Towards the mid-ground, slightly right of center, another youth, possibly 12-16 years old, stands with his hands on his hips. He is dressed in a green t-shirt, black Adidas-branded shorts with white stripes, white socks, and yellow/orange football cleats. Other youths are dispersed across the field: one in an orange t-shirt and dark shorts, another in a light blue t-shirt, one in dark clothing, and a person on the far right wearing a red shirt, white shorts, red socks, and goalkeeper gloves on his right hand. The ground surface is unpaved, uneven dirt with numerous footprints visible.
