Nigeria is one of the 12 Countries that will parade two Teams in each of the CAF Club competitions namely, CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation cup in 2015.
The performance of Enyimba FC in reaching the semi final in 2011 and Kano Pillars Fc and Heartland Fc earlier in 2009 getting to the Semi final and Final respectively made sure Nigeria garnered enough points place 5th among the 12 Countries presenting 2 teams in each competition.
Here is the full story and rankngs from cafonline.com
The
2014 ranking for CAF Club Competitions has been determined based on the
performance of the representatives of the National Associations in the
Orange CAF Champions League and Orange CAF Confederation Cup covering
the 2009 to the 2013 seasons.
The
ranking serves the criteria for the 2015 CAF Club competitions, with
the top 12 countries entitled to enter two representatives each in the
two competitions.
This
means that the League champions and the runner-ups are eligible to
participate in the CAF Champions League, whilst the winner of the
domestic cup (FA Cup) and the third-place team in the national
championship are entitled for the CAF Confederation Cup.
The
notable observation for the 2014 ranking is the presence of South
Africa in the top 12, whilst Ghana has dropped to the 14th place,
largely due to the performance of Orlando Pirates, which reached the
final in the 2012 edition of the CAF Champions League.
The ranking is achieved based on the scale below with points awarded to the stage reached by a participating club;

The
number of points is then multiplied by a co-efficient assigned to each
edition (year) with the highest for the most recent edition (year). In
this case, the co-efficient is 5 for 2013, 4 for 2012, 3 for 2011, 2 for
2010 and 1 for 2009.
