Super League idea not possible in Africa – Ex-Sofapaka’s Okoth

Former Sofapaka striker Ronald Okoth has stated the Super League will not work in Africa.

During the recent Caf elections, Simba SC’s chief executive officer Barbara Gonzalez tweeted that the idea to form the competition was mooted during a meeting with the Fifa president Gianni Infantino in Morocco.

Recently, the same idea caused an uproar when major European clubs attempted to officially form a breakaway league. Persistent demonstrations from fans, Uefa and some stakeholders saw some clubs, especially the English co-founders, back down fast.
