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. The AFL is Africa's new elite club competition featuring eight of the strongest teams from different regions battling in a knockout format. It represents CAF's most daring attempt yet to shake up the status quo and achieve lasting change in African football. By taking the cream of African club football to the world, it could elevate Africa's sporting status and transform its domestic leagues.
