The CAF Champions League and the CAF Confederation Cup once again provided us with a new crop of African stars from across the continent. Ghanaians were well represented in both inter-club competitions where the majority of them turned up for local sides. There is also a growing number of Ghanaian players plying their trade in other African leagues outside Ghana, and we’ll take a look at how these players fared among the African elite, starting with the bigger competition; CAF Champions League.

Zakaria Mumuni was the difference when he scored the only goal as his club AS Vita Club from the Democratic Republic of Congo beat UMS de Luom to advance to the next stage on a 1-0 aggregate.
