In environments where toys are often lacking, children often all football fans, meet around the round ball, in the sandy alleys of Lomé and other African cities, around a round ball, children meet, s 'activate and have fun, this ball is rare, because few of them can buy it and whoever owns it, the owner is the BOSS.  He decides who takes part in the match, he has the right to put the best players in his team, he can also stop the football match at any time, it is important not to tackle him during the match, because that if he is upset he can then stop the match. So everyone pay attention to him, everyone respect him, stroke his hair because this match must go on.  So SOUSO becomes THE BOSS, in the alleys of working-class African neighborhoods, the round balloon represents power, this object that unites children from an entire neighborhood and beyond, SOUSO is the neighborhood's superhero, the superman, the one who sends the fun, the game, which unites the whole neighborhood around it, because he is the owner of the ball.
