The Leone Rock Premier League, formerly known as the Sierra Leone Premier League, failed to secure a spot among the top men’s football leagues in Africa for 2023, according to the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).
IFFHS is an organisation that chronicles the history and records of association football, founded in 1974 by Alfredo Poge in Leipzig. It rates the competitive edge of leagues and for the current rating, the Italian Serie A is the global strongest league, while Egypt tops Africa and is rated 20 in the world.
Within Africa, Morocco’s Botola League followed closely behind Egypt, while Algeria, Tunisia, South Africa, and Tanzania filled out the top five. Notably, Nigeria secured the seventh spot, with Angola, Zambia, and Cote d’Ivoire being the only other West African leagues to crack the top 10.
The top five strongest leagues in the world are Italian Serie A, the English Premier League, Spanish LaLiga, Brazil’s Serie A and the German Bundesliga.
While the Leone Rock Premier League may not have made the cut this year, the ranking provides valuable insights into the continent’s evolving football landscape. The presence of several West African leagues among the top 10 highlights the region’s growing competitiveness and potential for future success.
How did u expect sierra leone premier league to be among the top leagues in Africa when there is no professionalism into the league.
D league dae play for d rest of season, and spending a lot of moni but at end of d season no income out of it. So mk wi reset wi behaviors to wards wi country n mk am a better nation jus like others
The country must have foot ball schools for it to be ranking among other countries leagues in Africa.
And should perform well in the continental competitions
Hmm! Sierra Leone premier league doesn’t deserve to be among the rated leagues. So let’s seat together and rebuild our F.A if not we would remain to be at the least national league in the world 🌎🌍
When poverty is persistent in S/L what else do u think will strive and stand tall on a global stage?Pls take your time and check the economies of the countries that are highly ranked and appreciate me later
