The information spread like a mudslide. According to Ivorian journalist Nasser Eddy and many of his African colleagues, the African Football League will soon be the first African competition. A small bridge to Europe, synonymous with an example for Old World.
The big bridge…forward!
2′ Highlights – Mamelodi Sundowns vs Wydad Athletic Casablanca – African Football League
The eldest CAN of the EURO, CAF had no longer accustomed us to that. Even if championship is synonymous with league, the League of Nations seemed to copy the African Nations Championship, history has made African football a follower. A follower who just clicks on other people’s files to update themselves.
For a long time, African decisions were modeled on the agenda of European football decision-makers. The African Golden Ball given to the best Afropeanthe African Cup which increases to 24 because the European Cup has increased to 24, its calendar contested by the ECA, who finds it incompatible with his own… the circle is closed. Going forward, the AFL will mark the end of an era.
New formula
How African Football is Changing Forever – Tifo Football
Europe does not want the Super League, Africa does. FIFA had a lot to do with it, but it was Patrice Motsepe who validated everything. President of Real Madrid, Florentino Perez’s dream came true at the foot of the Pyramids. The boss of the White House certainly saw Mamelodi Sundowns win the first edition of this revolution which would go from 8 to 24 teams, selected according to their CAF ranking, and distributed as follows:
the first 8 from North Africathe first 8 from Central and West Africathe first 8 from Southern and Eastern Africa
This change in the format of the African Football LeagueIt was not done without consequences. Its winner will qualify for the Club World Cup. The teams which will play it will not play the LDC. The Champions League will come second and the Confederation Cup will disappear.
The CAF Super Cup will pit the winners of the Super Ligue and the Champions League. Between reconciliation and premonition: the round ball combined with the Simple Future.
Great idea

Beyond the fact that the winners of the domestic cups should participate in the C1, the C3 canceled, Africa had a brilliant idea. She managed to make the major financial interest seem like a good Samaritan. It will be a closed league, a different NBA, with promotion and relegation, dictated by the rules of the Confederation of African Football: the BAL, Basketball Africa League, the king of sport.
Furthermore, CAF succeeded where UEFA failed. In her, there will not be the good on one side and the bad on the other, tradition and modernism, history and money, the Champions League and the Super League: there will be the soccer. Two badges that clash for the sake of one.
In the African Football League, we are sure to find the best in sport. Those who want to join will simply have the difficult task of demonstrating regularity during African competitions.
The time has come
🚨 The SuperLeague, back? Detailed explanations! – Barça News
When the UEFA Champions League was created, many people shunned it. Today we all know what happens next, it’s the Super League’s turn to be boycotted… recovered and recycled by an Africa too often mocked, which now shows the way. Demonstrates that the two trophies can coexist without stepping on each other.
Thanks to the African Football League, soccer has entered another phase of its evolution. For this show that has become monotonous, she arrives at the right time and reinvents it… for other continents.
