Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has officially unveiled its 2025 Club Rankings<\/b>, serving as a critical benchmark ahead of the Preliminary Round Draw for continental competitions. The rankings reflect club performances across the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup over the past five seasons, with added weight given to more recent achievements.<\/p>\n

Al Ahly FC<\/b> of Egypt continue to dominate the continental scene, sitting comfortably at the top with 78 points<\/b>, followed by South Africa\u2019s Mamelodi Sundowns<\/b> (62 points) and Tunisia\u2019s Espe\u0301rance Sportive de Tunis<\/b> (57 points). Morocco\u2019s RS Berkane<\/b> (52 points) and Tanzania\u2019s Simba SC<\/b> (48 points) complete the top five, each club making significant strides in recent seasons.<\/p>\n

One of the most impressive stories in this year\u2019s rankings is Ghana\u2019s Dreams FC<\/b>, who have broken into the top 30 for the first time in their history, ranking 26th with 12 points<\/b>. The Ghanaian side\u2019s historic run to the CAF Confederation Cup semi-finals<\/b> last season has been instrumental in their rise. Dreams FC\u2019s campaign ended at the hands of Zamalek SC<\/b>, who are placed 7th with 42 points<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The club\u2019s performance not only earned them continental recognition but has also positioned them favorably ahead of the new Ghana Premier League season. Their semi-final appearance, marked by bold attacking football and a fearless approach against bigger opponents, has clearly paid dividends in their continental standing.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, USM Alger<\/b> (9th), Wydad AC<\/b> (8th), and Zamalek SC<\/b> (7th) remain among the elite, while clubs like Stellenbosch FC<\/b>, Rivers United<\/b>, and Future FC<\/b> have shown steady growth and now find themselves in the top 30, signaling a shift in African football\u2019s competitive balance.<\/p>\n

As CAF prepares to conduct the draws for its 2025 club competitions, these rankings will play a pivotal role in determining seedings and pairings, offering an advantage to the higher-ranked clubs.<\/p>\n
