The ranking is based on two basic data sources: 1) the results of club matches in international club competitions for the last 4 years and 2) the number of players representing leagues in the last FIFA World Cup and the last continental championships completed. In addition, the points obtained are adjusted to a very limited extent by the country’s reputation index (CFRI). The country’s reputation index is primarily based on the results of the national teams.
The columns provide names of countries carrying out the football / soccer leagues. By “countries” should understand “football countries”, and therefore not only independent states. In some items in the “Clubs Country” column, more than one flag may appear. It means that a specific league also has clubs from other countries.
England/Wales: Swansea City and Cardiff City play usually in the Premier League or EFL Championship. For the moment of preparing the ranking, both clubs play in the English second division. Welsh league on the day of the ranking is in the last Elementary Class.
France/Monaco: Monaco does not have a professional league. AS Monaco FC plays in the French football league system.
Switzerland/Liechtenstein: all clubs in Liechtenstein play in the Swiss football league system.
USA/Canada: Major League Soccer (MLS) is based in the USA, but both the American and Canadian soccer teams play there. Canada has a new professional league, which started in 2019. This league on the day of the ranking is in the last Elementary Class.
Australia/New Zealand: New Zealand club Wellington Phoenix competes in the Australian A-League.
The last column lists the name of the country or countries from which clubs in the league presently come from.
In this column you can compare the position of the country (league) with the position of the national team. The number indicates the place held by the country in the the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking at the date of December 10, 2020.
In the case of second level leagues listed in the KA Rating – this number is the same like for the highest league.
This column shows number of players representing the league who participated in the last FIFA World Cup Russia 2018.
The first number represents the amount of players from a specific league participating in FWC 2018. The second number means the amount of all players from all leagues (divisions) from a certain country attending to the tournament. If it is only one number that means all the players were from the 1st level league.
The players are ordered to the league (club) as at the start of the tournament.
Clubs promoted to upper divisions at the end of the season are considered as “upper division clubs” and conseqently clubs relegated to lower divisions at the end of the season are treated as “lower division clubs”.
There are 4 (four) Tiers: World, Continental, Inter-Zone & Domestic. Each of the Tier is divided into Classes.
The highest Tier has two Classes: World Ultimate & World Top. The others have 3 Classes. Continental Tier is divided to: Upper, Prime & Lower, but Inter-Zone Tier is divided to: Upper, Middle & Lower.
Classes, with the exception of the Classes assigned to the lowest Tier, are marked with asterisks, from 6 to 0.5 asterisk (white star). They are called “the Chamber”.
The 9th (Intermediate) and the 10th class (Secondary) are also called “the AnteChamber”.
The 11th class (Elementary Class) has separate table: the Yard Table.
Learn more on THE-KA LOGS tab or on the Leagues Rating Home Page.
Data in columns present the name of continental Federation/Confederation to which the country belongs, as well as the place held by the mother continental Federation/Confederation in the KA Federation Ranking.
The KA Federation Ranking is supporting ranking for the KA System, where important and necessary coefficients & converters are determined.
The column provides names of leagues (divisions).
I-League shares the top spot in the Indian football system with the Indian Super League (ISL) – franchise-based league. The ISL has been granted official recognition by the AFC, meaning there are two collateral top divisions in India since 2017/18. For this reason, the KA system recognizes them as one league.
in the 12th column “League Name (eng / fra / lat trans)” the name of the league is transliterated into the Latin alphabet if the country using an alphabet other than the Latin alphabet. The name is given mainly in English, but also in French or other phonetic record – accordingly and appropriately to the country.
Points (the KA League Points) obtained by single league according the KA Algorithms System.
The value reflecting to the application of two types of algorithms: the Attraction & Impact Factors (AIF: FI2/CFRI) and the Continental Competitions Factors (CCF); for both weight is aprox. 50%. Learn more on THE-KA LOGS tab or on the Leagues Rating Home Page.
Columns show difference in relation to the position held in the previous season and difference in relation to the class assigned in the previous season.
The league can change position and the class does not change at the same time. It is also possible to reverse situations, and even those in which the direction of change is different in relation to the position and the class.
Two arrows ⬆︎⬆︎ indicate promotion / degradation by two classes, two arrows and an exclamation mark ⬆︎⬆︎ – promotion / degradation by more than two classes and the cirled bullet ⦿ – no change. Teardrop (spoked asterisk) ✻ means the new entry.
This column shows number of players representing the league who participated in the last continental national team championships: OFC Nations Cup 2016, UEFA Euro 2016, AFC Asian Cup 2019, CONCACAF Gold Cup 2019, Copa América 2019 and Africa Cup of Nations 2019.
The first number represents the amount of players from a specific league participating in the last all continental championships. The second number means the amount of all players from all leagues (divisions) from a certain country attending to those tournaments. If it is only one number that means all the players were from the 1st level league.
The players are ordered to the league (club) as at the start of the tournaments.
Clubs promoted to upper divisions at the end of the season are considered as “upper division clubs” and conseqently clubs relegated to lower divisions at the end of the season are treated as “lower division clubs”.
Because of Japan & Qatar attending to the AFC Asian Cup 2019, as well as the Copa America 2019 – some of players could be counted twice.
In the case of India, first number deals with I-League, but the second is related to all players from Indian leagues, including ISL.
The KA Rate Code contains three data: class name (abbreviation), the KA League Coefficient and the League Threshold.
Every league in the the KA Global Football Leagues Rating is assigned a league ratio (the KA League Coefficient), alongside the KA League Points. While the KA League Points decide on the place held in the rating list, the KA League Coefficient is determined in relation to the place that the league has on the rating list. The KA League Coefficient is extremely important for determining the KA Club Coefficient (weight 33%).
The League Treshold index determines the number of teams from the single league, which qualify for the KA Football Club Global Rating in accordance with the „national algorithm” (one of two used qualification algorithms).

Special separate rules are applied as follows:
General rule of the ranking implies to show the highest divisions. However some of lower divisions have better strength, attractiveness and renown then many of the first level leagues.
