Continental Indexes

the KA Continental Indexes

Continental football indexes are very important for the KA System, because let to adjust continental scores to a global common ground. Indexes are calculated from a football big data set. They are related to a club football, not to national teams. The primary source data is collected on the basis of players’ activity in major football tournaments with national teams. The system assumes that every footballer appearing in a given tournament not only represents his national team, but also the football league in which he is playing. The points values collected by a player are assigned to his league, and then added up within the federation to which the league belongs (the country leading the football league). Indexes present a whole picture of the continent, all leagues, including top rated ones as well as low football level countries.  They are assigned to six continental federations/confederations: AFC (Asia), CAF (Africa), CONCACAF (North Central America), CONMEBOL (South America), OFC (Oceania) and UEFA (Europe).

Power Index

Power Index of Federation (PIF) is the most significant factor (in a form of percentage number) used in the KA System. It represents actual strength & attraction of the continent, from the perspective of a club football. Sum of all PIF`s is equal to 100%. The Continents Ranking is established according to the value of PIF (the highest PIF is attributed to the first place). The PIF works both for the KA Football Leagues Global Rating and the KA Football Club Global Rating.

pure Power Index

Pure Power Index of Federation (pure PIF) represents natural (root) strength & attraction of the continent, from the perspective of a club football – excluding an impact the uneven distribution of investment capital, as well as artificial barriers and obstacles resulting from regulations and arangaments concluded within FIFA and continental federations.
Sum of all the pure PIF`s equals to 100%. When the pure PIF is larger then the ordinary PIF it can also depicts growth potential of the federation/confederation.
Value of the pure PIF is not applied directly in the KA System, but instead of it, there is other derivative index applicable: the VIF.

Virtual Performance Index

Virtual Performance Index of Federation (VIF) is the second important factor used in the KA System. It is calculated as percentage number resulting from the relation of the continental pure PIF to the pure PIF assigned to the first continent on the Continents Ranking. The VIF of the continent with the highest PIF is always equal to 100%. The VIF is mostly applied in the KA Football Club Global Rating.

BIF / Federation Value

Balanced Index of Federation (BIF) is a derivative factor equals to the average of the PIF and the VIF. It used mostly for the KA Football Leagues Global Rating and represents well-balanced measure across actual and potential strength of continents.

Federation Value (FV) was originally intended for the players ranking (which is in the preparation process), but it also applies for the one algorithm used for the KA Football Club Global Rating. The figure is a derivative value as the VIF in a form of ordinary number rounded to three decimal places.

Index analysis gives an answer to the question of which federation is the best in terms of a club football. Undoubtedly, UEFA has a dominant position in this area, but that position slowly decreased recent over recent years . The second position is occupied by CONMEBOL. CONCACAF and AFC have a very similar level to CONMEBOL, although there is a noticeable increase in the level of AFC over the last few years. CAF occupies a de facto last noticeable place, however its level has increased last year significantly. OFC is of marginal importance for a club football.
