Continental Indexes

the KA Continental Indexes

Continental football indices are crucial for the KA System as they permit adjustment of continental scores to a global standard. These indices are computed from a large football dataset, and relate to club football rather than national teams. The primary data source is players’ activity in major football tournaments representing their respective countries. The system assumes that each footballer participating in a tournament represents not only their national team but also the football league in which they play. Points collected by a player are assigned to their league and then added up within the federation to which the league belongs. These indexes present an all-encompassing view of the continent, encompassing both highly-rated leagues and those in low-level football countries. They are distributed among six regional confederations, namely: AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF (North Central America), CONMEBOL (South America), OFC (Oceania) and UEFA (Europe)

Power Index

The Power Index of Federation (PIF) is the primary metric used in the KA System, calculated as a percentage. It reflects the overall strength and attraction of a continent from the viewpoint of club football (soccer). The sum of all PIFs equals 100%. The Continents Ranking is determined by the PIF value, with the highest score attaining first place. PIF is utilised for both the KA Football Leagues Global Rating and the KA Football Club Global Rating.

pure Power Index

Pure Power Index of Federation (pure PIF) measures the inherent strength and appeal of the continent from club football perspective. It does not account for the effect of uneven distribution of investment capital or the obstacles posed by regulations and arrangements made by FIFA and continental federations.
The sum of all pure PIFs is 100%. If the pure PIF exceeds the ordinary PIF, it can indicate growth potential for the federation or confederation.
The pure PIF value is not directly applied in the KA System. Instead, the VIF, another derived index, is used.

Virtual Performance Index

The VIF (Virtual Performance Index of Federation )  is the second key factor in the KA System. It is calculated as a percentage, resulting from the ratio of the continental pure PIF to the pure PIF assigned to the top continent on the Continents Ranking. The continent with the highest PIF has a VIF of 100%. The VIF is primarily used in the KA Football Club Global Rating.

BIF / Federation Value

The Balanced Index of Federation (BIF) is the average of the PIF and the VIF. It is mainly used for the KA Football Leagues Global Rating and provides a well-balanced measure of actual and potential strength across continents.

The Federation Value (FV) was initially designed for player rankings (which are currently being prepared) but also applies to the algorithm for  the KA Football Club Global Rating. The value is a calculated as the average PIF/VIF represented as a decimal rounded to three places.

UEFA is the best federation for club football, with a significant lead over the others. UEFA undoubtedly holds a strong position, but its standing has declined somewhat in recent years. CONMEBOL, CONCACAF and the AFC are closely matched, with CONMEBOL historically taking the second spot, but currently, Asian club football slightly surpasses it. The CAF ranks last of the notable federations. The CAF's level has been consistently increasing in recent years, despite one recent setback. OFC Club football has little significance for the world football.
