THE AFRICAN FOOTBALL LEAGUE IS FINALLY KICKING OFF. BUT IS IT A GOOD IDEA?

 

Cape Town, South Africa – The inaugural season of the African Football League kicks off on Friday with Tanzania’s Simba SC hosting Egypt’s Al Ahly in the first leg of their quarterfinal.

The new continental club competition – spearheaded by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and the sport’s global governing body, FIFA – was originally supposed to feature Africa’s 24 best clubs in a mini-league and then knockout format.

But numerous complications have seen the number of teams cut to eight in a knockout format in its first year: the other teams are Mamelodi Sundowns (South Africa), Petro de Luanda (Angola), TP Mazembe (DRC), Es Tunis (Tunisia), Enyimba International (Nigeria) and Wydad Casablanca (Morocco).
