No Ghanaian side made it in the world Top 400 ranking for clubs released by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) for the year.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The inability of clubs to qualify to the money-spinning zone of continental club competitions has contributed to this.<\/p>\n

Ghanaian champions Aduana Stars were eliminated from the qualifiers of the Caf Champions League and AshantiGold were knocked out by Etoile Sportive du Sahel in the Confederation Cup.<\/p>\n

Asante Kotoko were the last club from Ghana to qualify to the Group phase of any of Caf Inter-clubs competition back in 2008.<\/p>\n

Newly-crowned champions Esperance of Tunisia are ranked 59th after beating Wydad Casablanca to lift the trophy at home.<\/p>\n

Nigerian giants and three-time African champions Enyimba International of Aba are rated 66th.<\/p>\n

Losing Caf Champions League finalists Wydad Casablanca are Africa\u2019s third ranked side and rated 75th in the world.<\/p>\n

The Club World Ranking was initiated in 1991 to show the level of the clubs and the level of international performance for each country.<\/p>\n

Competitions not organised by a continental confederation, or any intercontinental events not recognised by FIFA, are not taken into consideration.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
