Africa-Press – South-Africa. <\/strong><\/span>Orlando Pirates head coach Jose Riveiro has one concern regarding the CAF Super League that was launched this week in Tanzania. While the Spaniard believes that the<\/p>\n

competition will be a good addition for the Buccaneers to partake in, he does, however, question the already tight football schedule. “I don’t have an opinion at this<\/p>\n

stage. When I think about a new tournament, I just think about the schedule and how tight it is already,” Riveiro told reporters after Pirates’ 1-1 draw<\/p>\n

against Stellenbosch at Danie Craven Stadium. “I hope they find a way to make it possible, and I know it’s a great competition for the club, and we will be ready for that (if qualified), but I think it is not the moment to speak about it.”<\/p>\n

CAF Super League: What we know and don’t know On the evening, Steve Barker, Stellenbosch’s mentor, was also probed about the Super League and promptly said: “To be<\/p>\n

honest, I don’t really want to be commenting on those things right now.” The Confederation of African Football president Patrice Motsepe promised $100 million (R1.66 billion) in prize funds<\/p>\n

for clubs that will participate in the lucrative competition. It has been confirmed that twenty-four clubs, yet to be decided, will compete in the tournament from 23 August 2023 until<\/p>\n

May 2024. “The African Super League is a very important initiative. One of the major problems in Africa is finance,” said Motsepe at the official launch.<\/p>\n

“The Africa Super League is one of the most exciting developments in the history of African football, and the<\/p>\n

objective in terms of what we are trying to achieve is very clear, to make sure African club football is world-class and competes with the best in the world.”<\/p>\n

There have been mixed reviews about the competition following the failure of UEFA to introduce a similar league last year, which fell flat within days of its announcement.<\/p>\n

Cape Town City owner and chairperson John Comitis, whose club will compete in this season’s CAF Champions League, said the Super League is bad for African football.<\/p>\n

“The Super League will kill African club football,” he warned.<\/p>\n

“You can switch off the lights on the domestic leagues.”<\/p>\n
