African football is not one market but 54. Each national league has its own level, style and pathway to bigger clubs.
Established top flights
Leagues in North Africa and South Africa have long been among the best-resourced on the continent, with strong clubs, continental experience and professional structures.
Fast-growing leagues
West and East African leagues continue to produce players who move abroad young, often after only a few senior seasons at home.
