On Friday, Dr Patrice Motsepe revealed that talks were at an advance stage for the establishment of an African Super League, which is expected to kick-off in September next year.

Togbe Afede XIV and Dr Kwame Kyei are amongst the 40 clubs at the meeting, which includes the likes of Egyptian Giants Al Ahly, Enyimba Football Club of Nigeria, Wydad Casablanca of Morocco to name a few.

This tournament is expected to be a huge financial return for CAF, and it is expected to exceed the barrier of 200 million dollars, which will be used to develop and improve stadiums, infrastructure and the promotion of football in Africa.

CAF is the first regional football body proposing to commence the inaugural Super League after it was announced in Europe in 2021 which was vehemently rebuffed by several clubs and Football Associations.
