The African Football League (AFL) is an annual continental men's club football competition run by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) since 2023.[1][2] It was announced on 28 November 2019 by Gianni Infantino, president of FIFA. It was initially launched as the Africa Super League on 10 August 2022 and was to include twenty-four elite African clubs with a promotion/relegation system,[3] but is scaled down to eight teams for its inaugural campaign.
