CAF Champions League due for an upgrade as familiar foes fight for African supremacy
African club football’s great showpiece, the Champions League final, rolls into Cairo this weekend with an air of distraction. Its finalists are obliged to glance back over their shoulders because, this time last year, the same Al Ahly and Wydad of Casablanca were contesting the same prize. As standard-bearers in the competition, they also look forward to a deluxe version of the competition, the proposed African Super League, a project long in the planning and seemingly close to actual launch.
