The idea of changing the name of the African Super League has been on the table for several weeks now, but it is now official. The announcement was made by the President of the Confederation of African Football, Patrice Motsepe.
The future competition, due to be launched in September, will now be known as the African Football League, the South African leader announced in an interview with BeIN Sports.
"We have decided to change the name of the Super League to the African Football League. Our friends in Europe advised us not to use the name Super League because of the negative associations with the recent failed attempt in Europe," he said. The European Super League project met with strong opposition from fans when it was first announced, and clubs wishing to join the new competition eventually backed out.
