Club Ranking ↓

Notes
ELO UEFA – International Matches Leagues & Clubs Performance Rankings
Every club receives the points for match outcomes according to the ELO method scheme. Points are determined by the relative strength of the two opponents where the factor of an expected outcome is calculated and with using the factors related to completed match: importance match factor, the outcome factor and the difference goals factor. Club points are used to make an order of the club ranking. Points for clubs are converted to leagues scores, in the next step. Since the ELO Method become applied, all international matches arranged or recognized by FIFA or the continental federation are covered by rankings. For Europe, this includes the Champions League, Europa League, Conference League, Super Cup as well as the FIFA Club World Cup.
Meaning of the continental ranking versus global ranking
The continental ranking has a technical nature because it shows a position of a league or club only from the perspective of international cups like Champions League. If you want to find more accurate ranking with relation to actual football strength and quality you must look at the KA Football Leagues Global Rating or the KA Football Club Global Rating. The global leagues ranking consider also world-wide attraction and reputability of the league, as well as of the country of league. In the case of the global club ranking we can see difference to an even greater extent. The global club ranking refers since also to a position of a club in the domestic games, as well as takes into consideration a position of the league in the word. It means that clubs playing games in high rated leagues, but rarely participate in the continental competitions they also appear in that global ranking, sometimes on decent spots.
Multinational Leagues
Some countries have more than one flag displayed. This means that clubs from other countries can participate in the league systems of these countries, although only those countries where foreign clubs are usually present in the first or second division are marked in this way.
Great Britain & Ireland
Parts of the UK: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have a separate membership in UEFA / FIFA and have their own leagues.  Despite the Welsh Premier League – Swansea City and Cardiff City play in the English Premier League or EFL Championship. Newport County is a professional club in Newport, South Wales. The team competes in EFL League Two, the fourth tier of the English football league system. Wrexham AFC based in Wrexham competes in the National League, the fifth tier of the English football league system. Other Welsh club Merthyr Town, currently playing in the Southern League – Premier South, in the seventh tier of the English system. There are also other cases on the very lower level, when clubs form Wales, Scotland and England play in the leagues of the system belonging to other country in the UK. There are also some examples dealing with border issues e.g. the New Saints F.C. is a club representing Oswestry in England and at the same time Llansantffraid-ym-Mechain in Wales plays in Welsh Premier League. Derry City F.C. based in Northern Ireland, plays in the league of Ireland Premier Division. British Crown Dependencies: Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man have separate leagues and national teams and they are not member of UEFA / FIFA. Some of clubs from these countries participate in the lower divisions of English league system (Jersey Bulls F.C., Guernsey F.C., F.C. Isle of Man). The Priaulx League (Guernsey), the Jersey Football Combination (a league of Jersey) and the Isle of Man Football League are affiliated with the English FA, but they do not form a part of the English football league system. The Isle of Man is also a member of the FA, as county football assocciation. People born in the Isle of Man are eligible to play for official UK national teams. Following British overseas territories have separate membership in FIFA and/or continental federations: Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, and Turks & Caicos Islands.
France & Monaco

Other autonomous territory Greenland has no international recognition (according to FIFA rules), but Football Association of Greenland is a member of the Confederation of Independent Football Associations.
the Ranking Points, RPS and IC3
The Ranking Points are calculated according to the ELO Method. As regards of leagues these points are a derivative of the values obtained by clubs. RPS (Relative Point Score) is the value that arises from that the ELO points obtained in the ranking are converted into the common formula used in the KA system, which allows you to compare values from different continental rankings and combine these values to determine global rankings. As regards of clubs the RPS not only takes into consideration the results of matches in continental competitions, but also takes into account the global Attraction and Impact Factor (AIF).  Under the AIF procedure most influential clubs are selected, which had the biggest impact on results of last completed FIFA World Cup and continental championship of national teams. The influence of the AIF is not significant and, as a rule, it does not change the order of the ranking. IC3 (Inter-Continental Club Coefficient) is an indicator based on the continental ranking points, taking into account the index of the continent (Power Index Federation). The IC3 is 50 % of a weight of the club coefficient within the KA Football Club Global Rating. The IC3 is taking into consideration the AIF to a small extent, too.
UEFA Members – Depreciation Algorithm
As a general principle the ranking includes all UEFA members, without Liechtenstein that does not provide league games (54). However, not all UEFA members are listed in the ranking according to a club football performance. The reason is the very low activity of clubs from these countries in the last 12 months on the international stage. If a club has not played any matches in continental cups for years, then of course its score is zero. Nevertheless, if a club has scored points in previous periods, but has only played a few matches in recent months, e.g. in the preliminary phases, or have not played any matches, its cumulated score will be lowered and may eventually become negative in this way (depreciation algorithm). There’s a similar situation it when clubs losing all matches. Such clubs have permanent negative score and do not appear in the ranking. Leagues score points as a derivative of the points assigned to the clubs, and if they have several negative clubs then they receive a zero or negative point value as a consequence and therefore do not appear in the present ranking (even if they were shown in previous rankings).
