It’s surprising that prominent winners of the Elite One Championship such as Canon, TKC Tonerre, RC of Bafoussam etc have not made the list right? The thing is, all the clubs were not founded the same year (1961) which the Elite One kick started. Also poor performances within a long period of time is a reason for lesser points won so far for most of the Elite One Championship winners.
For example, Canon of Yaounde has 10 Elite One titles to her name but their recent drop in form since 2017 accounts for lost of winning points.
