Chiefs Leapfrog Sundowns In African Rankings

Kaizer Chiefs are ranked one place higher than Mamelodi Sundowns on the top African clubs ranking list, according to the FootballDatabase system.

The Siya crew reported last year, December 31^st, that Sundowns were ranked at 11^th place, while the Soweto giants followed in 14^th position.

Now, according to the latest statistics on Footballdatabase, Amakhosi are placed at 13^th on the top African clubs ranking system, with Masandawana behind at 14^th and Bidvest Wits at 19^th.

With the new year underway, both Chiefs and the Brazilians will look to challenge for more domestic silverware up for grabs, such as the 2016/17 Absa Premiership title and the Nedbank Cup.
