Notes

Meaning of the continental ranking versus global ranking

The South America continental rankings (ELO Ranking CONMEBOL), solely depict the position of a league or club based on international cups, like Copa Libertadores. These rankings are highly technical in nature. For a more precise evaluation of football strength and quality, you should refer to the KA Football Leagues Global Rating or the KA Football Club Global Rating.

Global rankings differ from continental rankings by considering more factors.

A global league rating takes into account the level of attractiveness and reputation of a league, as measured by the number of players from that league who feature in top national teams (AIF), regardless of the performance of clubs in international competitions. Furthermore, we consider a nation’s general football reputation, evaluated through national team historical results and the most esteemed individual football awards (NFRI).

The global club ranking exhibits a greater disparity from the continental ranking. It considers additionally a club’s standing in domestic league competitions in tandem with the global rating of league. As a result, clubs playing in highly ranked leagues but rarely participating in continental competitions may also feature in the global club rankings, occasionally achieving respectable positions.

ELO CONMEBOL – International Matches Leagues & Clubs Performance Rankings
Clubs earn points for match results under the ELO method scheme. Points are determined based on the relative strength of each opponent, with the expected score factor calculated first. A point value is then determined using factors specific to the match, including the match importance, score, and goal difference, which either increase or decrease the base value. Each of the continental rankings covers international matches arranged or recognized by FIFA or the continental federation. For South America, this includes the Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, Recopa as well as the FIFA Club World Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup.
South American countries – not CONMEBOL members
French Guiana, Suriname and Guyana do not belong to CONMEBOL. The are members of CONCACAF. Islands: Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao (dependent territories of Netherlands) as well as Trinidad and Tobago, lies on the continental shelf of South America, they are members of CONCACAF, and they usually don’t recognized as South America’s countries.
Continental Points versus International Rating
1. Continental Points Continental points reflect the Continental Rating of leagues or clubs, based on the clubs’ results in international matches. The Continental Rating for clubs is reflected in the ranking points calculated on a continental basis. Ranking points are calculated according to the ELO method. The Continental Rating for leagues is reflected in the ranking points calculated on a continental basis, however these points are derived from the values obtained by clubs. 2. International Rating A league or club’s International Rating, calculated based on the results of international matches, is used as a component in calculating global rankings. Value of International Rating for clubs is represented as the IC3 (Inter-Continental Club Coefficient). The IC3 is determined by their continental ranking points, taking into consideration the PIF (Power Index Federation) of the continent, as well as the AIF value. Club International Rating (IC3) = \|Continental Points \| PIF \| AIF\| PIF (Power Index Federation) is an indicator that reflects the strength of club football (soccer) on the continent. AIF value measures the extent of a club’s influence on key national teams. The IC3 is a crucial indicator for determining the KA Football Club Global Rating. Due to the added value of the AIF, sometimes the IC3 can be higher for a club with fewer Continental Rating points. Value of International Rating for leagues is calculated as combination of RPS and PIF. League International Rating = Continental Points_RPS x PIF RPS (Relative Point Score) is a value obtained by converting points acquired in a ranking according to the same formula used throughout the KA system. This practice enables the comparison of values from different continental rankings. Each RPS assigned to a certain league is multiplied by PIF. This is what makes it possible to determine the KA Football Leagues Global Rating.
