3rd Quarter 2025

To see the full the KA Football Club Global Rating 3Q 2025 (September, 2025) – click here (TOP 1000 CLUBS in the WORLD) or here (class tables).

The club ranking is based on three factors: the club’s rating based on the ELO continental ranking referring to international club competitions (such as the Champions League or other continental cups) where the ELO method is used, the club’s national standing based on the current league tables, and the league’s rating specified based on the Global Leagues Ranking.

 

📊 Q3 2025 Global Club Ranking – Highlights & Storylines

 

We have a new world number oneParis Saint-Germain 🇫🇷!

For the first time since the KickAlgor global ranking system was introduced in 2017, PSG has claimed the top spot. Despite falling short in the Club World Cup, their overall performance throughout the year has earned them the highest rating globally as of September 30.

Most fall–spring domestic and international leagues have just kicked off, so many of the notable changes are happening further down the table. Several clubs involved in Champions League qualifiers or regional competitions have shifted positions.

🔝 At the top of the world and continental rankings, the situation remains stable.

  • Al-Hilal 🇸🇦 and two other Saudi clubs continue to dominate Asia.

  • In South Asia, a surprise twist: FC Goa 🇮🇳 has jumped to the top of South Asia Region.

  • In South-East Asia, Buriram United 🇹🇭, crowned the top club in ASEAN in June, remains the regional leader.
  • Africa sees Al Ahly 🇪🇬 holding firm at No.1, but Orlando Pirates 🇿🇦 has broken into the Top 5.

  • In West Africa, Bibiani Gold Stars 🇬🇭, named the region’s best club in June, still leads the pack.
  • In South America, Palmeiras 🇧🇷 and Fluminense 🇧🇷 have improved their global standing thanks to solid performances at the FIFA Club World Cup.

  • North America brings the biggest moves:

    • Seattle Sounders 🇺🇸, winners of the Leagues Cup, soared from 12th to 4th in the region (and globally from 72nd to 38th).

    • Inter Miami 🇺🇸, as Leagues Cup finalists, now sit at No.2 in North America.

    • Cruz Azul 🇲🇽 maintains its lead for now — but for how long?

More drama is surely coming in Q4. Stay tuned!
