The inaugural African Football League (AFL) kicked off last week, representing the most ambitious attempt yet by CAF to transform and modernize club football across the continent.
The new tournament by CAF and backed by FIFA, promises to take the cream of African club sides to a global audience.
CAF and FIFA announced plans for the AFL in February 2020 to provide a new pan-African club platform and change the face of the sport in Africa.The eight AFL participants were selected based on club rankings from North, Central-West and South-East Africa. DR Congo's five-time champions TP Mazembe and South Africa's Mamelodi Sundowns, twice African kings, provide further quality.
