Members of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) will meet today in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, in support of plans to hold the World Cup every two years, as well as the establishment of the African Super League.
CAF President Patrice Motsepe expressed his support for organizing the World Cup every two years instead of four, and the General Assembly is expected to support the plans of FIFA President Gianni Infantino.
"One of the biggest benefits of holding the World Cup every two years is the development of countries," Motsebe said in a press statement.
It is also expected that CAF will request official approval for another idea from Infantino to establish the African Super League, with the participation of 20 teams on a constant basis, with one or two teams changing every season.
"The Super League is a new competition for Africa, because the rest of the competitions are restricted by agreements and do not bring in enough money," Motsebe said.
Other plans to launch the Super League in Europe have failed, but Africa is pressing to activate its own version.
