They offer a fascinating snapshot of African club football’s current power balance, with a mix of continental heavyweights and rising forces from across the continent.
Al Ahly retain their place at the summit with 78 points, underlining their status as Africa’s most successful club in both history and recent performance, having lifted the TotalEnergies CAF Champions League trophy in four of the last six seasons.
They are followed by South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns (62 points), who have become a dominant force in Southern Africa and perennial challengers for continental glory. Tunisia’s Espérance Sportive de Tunis (57) sit third, maintaining North Africa’s long-standing influence in the CAF competitions.
The top five is rounded out by Morocco’s RS Berkane (52), who lifted the TotalEnergies CAF Confederation Cup last season, and the team they beat in the final, Simba SC of Tanzania (48), the highest-ranked East African club.
Egypt’s influence is further emphasised by TotalEnergies CAF Champions League holders Pyramids FC (6th, 47 points) and Zamalek SC (7th, 42), while Morocco also boasts Wydad AC (8th, 39) and Raja CA (joint 15th, 30) inside the top tier.
Algeria’s USM Alger (9th, 37) and CR Belouizdad (10th, 36) lead the charge for their country.
Some clubs have shown good progress in recent years to rise up the rankings. Stellenbosch FC (South Africa) sit joint 21st with 15 points despite limited continental history, while Dreams FC (Ghana) are 26th after a strong recent run.
