Download Might more footballers start staying in Africa?
Around the world, football fans are glued to the Africa Cup of Nations.
It’s a proud moment for players to represent their country and perhaps draw some international attention.
For years, Africa’s top players have aspired to play for European clubs in La Liga, the Premier League and the Bundesliga.
But clubs in countries like Egypt and South Africa are starting to offer lucrative contracts that match those available in parts of Europe.
So, how are these teams able to afford the big bucks?
And might more players stay in Africa in the future?
