#3 TP Mazembe
TP Mazembe won two African Champions League trophies and twice finished as runners-up in the late 1960s during the first golden age of the Congolese club.
The seventies, eighties and nineties were fairly lean years for the Ravens, but the arrival of Moise Katumbi as president in 1997 changed their fortunes and eventually turned them into one of the biggest and most successful clubs in Africa.
Under Katumbi’s leadership, TP Mazembe have won nine of the last 12 domestic league titles and thrice triumphed in the African Champions League. Money has been invested to pay good wages and bring in players from Ghana, Tanzania, Zambia and Zimbabwe in order to form a side capable of dominating domestically whilst competing on the continental stage.
In 2010, they became the first African side to reach the final of the FIFA Club World Cup, knocking out Pachuca of Mexico and Internacional of Brazil before falling 3-0 to European champions Inter Milan in the final.
