We conducted this research to let you know how much a football player can earn playing in Africa. Of course, the disparities between top flight clubs in Europe, China and other leagues around the world is not in doubt. But we found out that clubs like Al Ahly of Egypt, Mamelodi Sundown of South Africa and Esperance of Tunisia pay better than most clubs in scandernavia and Eastern Europe.
This research answers many questions, but most importantly it can help you make decisions where you go to continue your career.
