Do you expect CAF to stream its matches live? Well, they won't. Africa's soccer ruling body needs money and is selling all its competitions. Arduous as it may sound to watch the CAF Champions League, here are a few pointers on a live football TV app you can use.

South Africa's Percy Tau will be again in action this season for CAF Champions League defending champions Al Ahly.

As usual, North African teams are highly favoured to win it again. The last seven competitions had the North Africans as winners – Al Ahly (3 times), Esperance (2), and Wydad Casablanca (2). Can the last South African team to win it (Mamelodi Sundowns) stop them? Will Orlando Pirates fly South Africa's flag high?
