OneTouch League Ranked 14th In Africa.

Ghana premier league is now ranked 14th on the African continent but 79th globally with 117 points. Ghana boasted 29th position in the 2006 ranking but due to the emergence of more stronger leagues the nation has dropped heavily.

According the ranking company based in Bonn- Germany, Spanish League is the strongest league in the world followed by Brazil, England 3rd, Argentina 4th, Mexico 5th with Italy at the 6th position.

The Primera División of Spain is again the strongest league in the world, because until now Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have not shone in all competitions. The decline of the Italian Serie A is serious. Three top teams (Roma, both clubs from Milan) are too few and the "Italian scandal" is having its expected late effect.

The French have a balanced league on a good level, but with only one top team as many teams are lacking consistency. The drop in performance of the German Bundesliga is significant, even if in Germany the opposite view will be published a million times.

The Mexican Primera División has further developed as the 3rd strongest league in Latin America. The Major League Soccer (USA) is not as strong as in the first years following its foundation.

Furthermore Tunisia is ahead of Egypt as the strongest league in Africa. Also impressive are the improvements in the leagues of Algeria, Cameroon, Nigeria and South Africa.
The leagues of Lebanon and Syria have become surprising strong, but, because of the schedule, the Japanese league Asia‘s is favourite. Greatly improved are the leagues of Iran, Singapore, Jordan, Bahrain, Oman, Malaysia, Hong Kong and India as well as the leagues of Saudi Arabia and UAE which have re-gained strength. The Republic of Korea and China, in the same way as Japan, always enjoy a better second half of the year.
In Europe – apart from the above, the leagues of following countries have lost some of their strength: Czech Republic, Switzerland, Bulgaria, Denmark, Austria, Slovakia, Croatia, Hungary, Slovenia, Ireland and Moldava.
