CENTRAL/NORTH AMERICA'S CLUB OF THE FIRST DECADE (2001 - 2010):

CF AMERICA CIUDAD DE MEXICO

There are 35 countries affiliated with CONCACAF, although not all of them were considered; mostly because their leagues (clubs) were too weak, and would not have stood a chance of placing somewhere in the middle of their continental rankings. However, any participation of clubs from the CONCACAF area in CONMEBOL club competitions was taken into account; not only for a better global ranking, but also because CONCACAF only has one club ccompetition.

After nine of ten years, the ranking of the first decade was as follows: CF América from Mexico City top the list with a clear lead (193 points), followed by four other Mexican clubs. CD Saprissa of Costa Rica - Central and North America’s Club of the 20th Century - slipped a place in 2010 and takes 7th place at the end of the period 2001-2010. The Central American club followed six Mexican clubs who monopolised the top of this CONCACAF club ranking.
