The African Football Confederation has switchedto January 2024, six months later than scheduled, the ruling body’s president Patrice Motsepe said on Sunday. He also announced the creation of an African Super League next season, which will be formally launched on August 10. Both decisions were made at a CAF meeting in Morocco and will likely spark controversy, notably the Cup of Nations dates which again clash with club commitments for many of the players.

“We took a lot of advice and we decided we cannot take a risk,” Motsepe told a news conference. “We don’t want to run the risk of that our top competition is going to be washed out.”
