It will be new on the continent. The Women’s Champions League will be launched in 2021. A first in Africa. This is one of the decisions taken by CAF after the videoconference meeting held on Tuesday.

At the announcement of this competition, several questions crossed our minds. Why this decision? What will be the competition mode for this premiere? Ahmad Ahmad, the president of the African Football Confederation (CAF) answered all these questions during the press conference organized today by videoconference.

The president of CAF gave the reasons for the launch of this competition: “How to raise the level of the national female teams if one does not grant credit to the club or if one does not make the clubs compete? Yes it took a long time before coming. The practice of women’s football took time before experiencing a boom. But we have to go and that’s what we did, “he said.

Our technicians will develop the competition mode that we will adopt. We will start in 2021. If we do not start, we will never start. Many countries have established championships for girls. Admittedly, they are not professional but that does not mean that we cannot launch the competition. If it’s 10 or 15 clubs, we will start with them, “he concluded.

Besides the Women’s CAN, a new competition for women’s football will be born in Africa; The Women’s Champions League. An idea for the current CAF executive committee to advance this discipline on the continent.
