If Africa is not a guinea pig, then perhaps it should be asked how come the least developed, least resourced FIFA Confederation which CAF is introducing the most elite club competition? Quite a paradox, writes Sipho Kekana.

CAF says, “Some of the funding from the Africa Super League will be used to allocate USD 1 million per annum to each of CAF’s 54 Member Countries, which is a total of USD 54 million per annum to develop football in all the African countries.”“This is one of the most exciting projects in the history of African football and will significantly contribute to the development and growth of the quality and competitiveness of football in Africa.

The Super League idea was, after all, rejected by football bodies CONMEBOL, UEFA and FIFA, which, he argues, could mean Africa is being used as a guinea pig. To this date, CAF has not explained why a competition that was rejected in other parts of the world, by better-resourced FIFA confederations, could somehow be to the benefit of African football.

However, one of the issues raised by the Football Supporters’ Association’s Premier League Network against the concept was that “These proposals will only widen the gap between rich clubs and the rest, at the same time wrecking domestic league calendars, with the expectation that fans sacrifice yet more time and money attending meaningless group games.”
