Challenges Facing The Competition
Scheduling, structure, and venues are some of the problems which the CAF faces.
Many feel the competition should schedule their fixtures to timelines like the UEFA Champions League. The African Champions League usually begins around January and finishes around November. Most (but not all) of the African national domestic leagues begin around July, August, or September and finish around April, May, or June. Because not all national domestic leagues begin around the same time, fixtures to this competition are organized poorly. Most national league administrators want to align the African Champions League to their national domestic leagues. The only way to fix this problem is to co-ordinate all national domestic leagues in Africa with the African Champions League.
Many national associations want the competition expanded to 16 teams in the group stage. The stronger national leagues feel the competition would be more profitable and successful by awarding extra spots to their leagues.
