AFRICA’S CLUB OF THE FIRST DECADE (2001/2010)

AL – AHLY CAIRO (EGYPT)

 

Al-Ahly Cairo increased its lead in 2010 and was Africa’s Club of the first decade of the 21th Century . The club was honoured by IFFHS at the World Football Gala 2012 in Barcelona.

It was remarkable that two Egyptian and two Tunisian clubs were among the “Top 10″ and that three North African clubs leaded the ranking. Africa’s Club of the 20th Century, Asante Kotoko Kumase (Ghana) occupied only 11th place.

The “Top 100″ was composed of clubs from 21 countries. The countries with the most clubs among the “Top 100″ were : Algeria (11), Nigeria (11), South Africa (9), Egypt (8), Morocco (8), Zambia (8), Cameroon (7), Tunisia (6), Ghana (6), Angola (5) and Ivory Coast (4). During the period 2001-2010, 268 African clubs amassed more than 150 points.
