The IFHHS added points won in all continental competitions by the five best placed clubs of the Nigerian Premier League.
Last month, two Nigerian clubs Enyimba FC and Sunshine Stars were named in the 2012 top ten club rankings for Africa.

Is this a sick joke or what? What about South African Premier league? Tunisian League, Egyot apart from the trouble and Sudanes they have three teams on the champions league! I think its a joke when was the last time a Nigerian team won a continental cup for them to be the best on the continent? Maybe the findings are 20 years late!
