CAF 5-Year Ranking

Prior to 2004, CAF organized 3 club tournaments; the CAF Champions League, the African Cup Winners' Cup and the CAF Cup with each association allowed to enter a single team in each tournament. The Cup Winners' Cup and the CAF Cup merged to create the CAF Confederation Cup in 2004. Rather than limiting all associations to just two positions in CAF club competitions, CAF decided to allow the leading nations two entries into the then-new tournament while also allowing them an additional entry in the Champions League.

As with the UEFA rankings used for their club tournaments, the CAF rankings are based on obtained results in each of the past 5 completed club seasons. There are some differences, notably:

• More tournaments are included; the CAF Super Cup and the FIFA Club World Cup also allow teams to obtain ranking points.
• The annual results are not averaged by the number of entrants an association has, so highly ranked associations have a greater ability to obtain points.
• The ranking points are not awarded for the results of individual matches, but rather for the final level of advancement such as winners or group-stage positions.
• Only teams that advance to the quarter-final knockout stage in each club tournament can obtain ranking points.

CAF approved its basic criteria based on the criteria used in the election of the CAF Clubs of the 20th Century in 2000 for awarding points in 2003. This was changed in 2005 with the addition of a criterion that rewards clubs that advance to the semi-finals of the FIFA Club World Cup.[9] This methodology has also been used to create an all-time ranking for CAF clubs, adding the points that would have been obtained by each club based on its results since 1965.

For the rankings system, only results since 1998 have been counted with the CAF Super Cup and the FIFA World Cup Club excluded from the system since 2011. The table below shows the years during which the competitions were operated:[10]

The association ranking for the 2022–23 CAF Champions League and the 2022–23 CAF Confederation Cup was based on results from each CAF club competition from 2018 to the 2021–22 season.

Note: For associations which have the same number of points, they are listed as having the same rank as CAF did not publish any tiebreaking criteria. There was a tie for determining the 12th ranked association on two occasions:

• In 2012, Ivory Coast received two entries in each tournament, while Angola and Zambia only received one entry in each.
• In 2013, Ivory Coast received two entries in each tournament, while Libya only received one entry in each.

Club results of the previous 5 seasons and the current season based on the current points system are as follows:[6]

If a team was disqualified, they will not obtain any ranking points. For example, ES Sétif were disqualified from the 2016 CAF Champions League during the group stage.[14] As a result, they did not obtain a position for that tournament and thus were not counted when calculating the ranking for Algeria.
