How African Football is Changing Forever

As soon as i saw Infantino involved I knew there was going to be something slimy about this

Improving the Champions league would have made better sense. The two leg final needs to be scrapped. The standard of refereeing must improve and funding must increase. The financial insentive to take the CAF CL is not up to par. There has been progress though, especially with the Confederations cup. There is nothing wrong with copying a model that works. Another problem is the different footballing calenders different African countries use. We need uniformity.

As an African, I wish to extend my condemnation of this tournament. Even locally, the PSL (South Africa’s top tier league) is rejecting the idea of moving around fixtures to accommodate the country’s one AFL participant. We don’t want this. At all.

FIFA rejects the European Super League but instead introduces an African Super League. Sounds like FIFA.

Tifo with yet another informative video. You don't hear this stuff on mainstream media. My compliments.

The level of football played at AFL damn, i am proud to be an African. This competition was a need.

Such a strange idea because it appears teams will play in both the AFL and CAF CL even with fixture congestion

This is why I love this channel. You give us information no one else is willing to talk about.

I’m impressed by how well you pronounced Motsepe’s name. It’s the small things that matter 😊

Always nice to see Tifo make a video about African football as a longtime fan from the motherland

As soon as Infatino is involved, you know it's just for the money.

Obvious as it may be, it's worth pointing out that if Infantino and FIFA are involved, then the whole idea is to benefit THEM, not Africa

Watching this video as a South African is very informative.

Heading to 2nd leg of the AFL final this Sunday. Looking forward to seeing the boys from Mamelodi in action.

I'm happy to see my township football club Enyimba mentioned we've come a really long way. Football in Africa is a sad story. Football runs in our blood. The amount of talent we have is bountiful but we lack proper resources and infrastructure to develop this. A perfect example is my family. We have so many players but only one professional footballer that's only because he was born in Europe. My sister on the other hand is a born athlete and while she wanted to play she ended up being a surgeon cos of the above mentioned reasons.

I love the African football teams I'm always rooting for them the motherland has so much talent

Tifo, in South Africa this tournament is going to cause such a gap between Sundowns(Which won the AFL) and the other teams in their league. I am a Sundowns supportor and was in the stadium for their final on Sunday and what I can say is that South African football is doomed because this tournament just made the best team in my country so rich and they already have their league in a choke hold. Their squad is mostly international players and they can buy any player in the league when they want to because they will obvioulsy be influenced by the money offered by them. I just wish the AFL can find a way to uplift other teams which are not the best because if they do not do this in SA, no team will win the league for the next 10 years im sure

Very insightful, thanks! This initiative looks promising!

I have always wanted to see Malawian clubs on a bigger stage in football and grow but I doubt this will help in anyway possible

the name change to AFL is completely baffling and downright idiotic. If you google AFL, you get the aussie football league and then the american football league, which hasn't existed for 60 years since it was absorbed by the NFL in 1966. No marketing people would ever think this is a good idea.
