The president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), Patrice Motsepe, was cagey about when the mooted CAF Super League will commence.
Motsepe was speaking at the Council of Southern African Footbal l Associations Congress and Draw in Sandton on Friday.
The Inaugural CAF Super Cup was supposedly planned to start later this year. Eight teams will part-take including the one South Africa’s representative, namely Mamelodi Sundowns.“Good progress has been made. The challenge I have as president and exco, you must give African football that is worthy. I need great financial resources for African football as possible.”Sundowns, had to bow out of the CAF Champions League semi-final on the away goal rule against Wydad Casablanca from Morocco.
“You have to discourage defensive football. Supporters go to the stadium to see goals, excitement and competitiveness, so for now we will leave things the way they are, we want clubs to be more offensive.”Only two Cosafa nations, South Africa and Zambia, have won the Africa Cup of Nation; while only Sundowns and Orlando Pirates have won CAF-Inter Club competitions.
