🧐 With the CAF Super League set to kickoff in just under six months, the teams set to participate in the inaugural tournament have reportedly been revealed. SLInt MORE:
Last August, the president of the Confederation of African Football , Patrice Motsepe, with FIFA president Gianni Infantino beside him, announced his plans to usher in a new era of prosperity in African club football with the announcement of the CAF Super League.MTNFC
, though, the teams that have agreed in principle to participate in its first-ever edition have been revealed. As per to the abovementioned publication, the clubs are Petro de Luanda from Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo's TP Mazembe, Egyptian giants Al Ahly, Horoya from Guinea, Wydad Casablanca of Morocco, Simba from Tanzania and Esperance of Tunisia, who will be joined by DStv Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns in the tournament's first iteration.
The original plan posed by CAF's executives was to include 24 sides from 16 African nations in what was supposed to be an extravagant new tournament for African football, but it appears the competition will be much smaller than initially anticipated as clarity around the Super League remains up in the air.
Motsepe had promised a number of financial incentives for the clubs that were set to participate, as well as CAF's 54 member associations. It was reported that $1 million was set to be given to all the clubs involved, with a $11.6 million prize expected for the winner, but in light of the apparent reduction in teams, it remains to be seen if the South African stays true to his word.
