The Ghana Premier League has been ranked sixth strongest league in Africa for 2012 by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).
The 16-team league is also rated the 65th strongest league in the world.
The world ranking for the strongest national leagues is determined annually by the IFFHS on the basis of all national (championship, FA Cup) and (inter)continental (confederations & FIFA club competitions) results of the clubs.
Last year, Berekum Chelsea’s exploits in the CAF Champions League-where they made it to the Group stage-propelled him on the ranking.
With no competition taking place in Egypt since January 2012, the country’s Premier League is ranked 91st in the world.
