Mamelodi Sundowns are the only South African team to have made into CAF’s Top 10 latest club rankings released on Friday.
Despite only walking away with the Betway Premiership title, claiming an unprecedented eighth in succession, the Brazilians had a fairly successful season breaking various records along the way.
Miguel Cardoso’s charges also reached the CAF Champions League final and outperformed the rest of the African teams at the FIFA Club World Cup in the US even though they narrowly missed out on group stage progression.
Orlando Pirates won the MTN8 and have made into the top 15, closely followed by Stellenbosch FC in 21st spot who qualified for the CAF Confederation Cup yet again after making it to the last four in 24/25.
At number 31 are surprisingly Marumo Gallants who didn’t have the best of seasons and fought relegation towards the last stretch of the campaign.
Nedbank Cup champions Kaizer Chiefs are in spot number 50, with Sekhukhune United in 51, AmaZulu in 55, and SuperSport United (now, Siwelele FC), at number 63.
