FOOTBALL: Gor Mahia set to know fate as African Football League, formerly CAF Super League, kick-off approaches
Initially touted to be part of the competition under the name "CAF Super League," the event has now been rebranded as the African Football League, showcasing the continent's rich football heritage.
The two women have been in impeccable form since the season started and their clash will definitely be a sprint showdown. Jackson will be lining up as the fastest and she will definitely be seeking to turn the tables on Sha’Carri, who is also a worthy rival.
The Jamaican sprint sensation is just coming from a victory at the Jamaican Championships that saw her set the fastest time of 10.65 to win the 100m final.
On her part, Sha’Carri is also coming from a victory after reigning supreme at the USA Championships and she will be hoping to extend the hot streak when she heads to Poland. She set the second-fastest time in the world after clocking 10.71 in the heats of the 100m at the National Championships.
