The latest edition of the Africa club rankings is out and surprisingly, some Ghanaian clubs are doing very well whiles others seem not to find their rythm.
Asante Kotoko Sporting Club is the only Ghanaian side still ranked in the top 50 clubs in Africa and have this time climbed up four places as North African giants remain firmly and literally at the pinnacle of the continent.
According to FootballDataBase’s quarterly ranking report after the latest update being November 28, 2021, record eight-time champions Al Ahly top the standings ahead of South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns who sit second.
Zamalek have dropped one place from second to the third position with Tunisian giants Esperance overtaking five-time champions league and two-time Confederation Cup Congolese winners, TP Mazembe on the fourth and fifth positions respectively.
