The Confederation of African Football (CAF) Wednesday afternoon in Arusha, Tanzania, launched a new Super League.

The Africa Super League will have a total prize money of USD 100 million, with the winner receiving USD 11.6 million, CAF President Dr. Patrice Motsepe said.

52 Member Associations, leading football Club officials, legends and the FIFA President, Gianni Infantino witnessed the historic launch.

The maiden edition of the Africa Super League will feature Twenty-four clubs, yet to be decided.

According to Motsepe, “The African Super League is a very important initiative. One of the major problems in Africa is finance.

“The Africa Super League is one of the most exciting developments in the history of African football and the objective in terms of what we are trying to achieve is very clear, to make sure African club football is world-class and competes with the best in the world.

“Our intention is to use the $100 million as prize money and to do that every year in the African Super League so that the club which wins gets $11.5 million.”

Barbara Jaime Gonzalez, the Simba Sports Club CEO who attended the launch was very delighted about the development. “Football is about business and every time more money is coming in this is very positive. As a Club we are very happy that the Africa Super League has now been launched and we can’t wait for it to start next year,” says Gonzalez.

The CEO of the Tanzania Premier League side Simba SC added that having the Africa Super League will be another opportunity for clubs to be able to sale and buy players. “Having the new tournament will definitely open more avenues for clubs to make money and players to also benefit,” she added.
