The first number represents the amount of players from a specific league participating in FWC 2022. 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”.

Competitions taken into account mainly: UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, UEFA Conference League, UEFA Super Cup, CAF Champions League, CAF Confederation Cup, CAF Super Cup, African Football League, AFC Champions League, AFC Cup, CONCACAF Champions Cup, CONCACAF Central American Cup, CONCACAF Caribbean Cup, Caribbean Shield, Leagues Cup, Campeones Cup, OFC Champions League, Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana and Recopa Sudamericana.

Differences (sometimes significant) may be observed between the position of the country in the Continental Ranking and the position on the continent measured by the Global Ranking. This is due to the fact that Continental Rankings are based only on the results of matches played in continental club competitions (like some kind of Champions League), while in the Global Ranking other factors are also taken into account.

Because of the KA Continental Rankings deal with countries (league systems) but not to specified divisions, in the case of lower level leagues listed in the KA Rating – this number is the same like for the highest league.

Players ContCh

This column shows number of players representing the league who participated in the last continental national team championships: UEFA Euro 2024,Copa América 2024, OFC Nations Cup 2024, AFC Asian Cup 2023 (2024),  Africa Cup of Nations 2023 (2024) and CONCACAF Gold Cup 2023.

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 consequently clubs relegated to lower divisions at the end of the season are treated as “lower division clubs”.

Because of Qatar attending to the AFC Asian Cup 2023, as well as the Gold Cup 2023, and because of all the Qatari players were from domestic league – the Qatari league figures are not fully comparatively. The same issue, though not to the same extent, applies to the U.S., Jamaica, Costa Rica and Mexico, which participated in the Copa America 2024, with their national teams made up of players from their home leagues.

Full list of players with club and league assignment in particular continental championships one can find here.

the KA Rate Code

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).

Division Level

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. Therefore the KA System provides also positioning of lower level leagues and in the ranking one can find some of the second level divisions. In the Yard Table (lower rated table) also can be find the third level leagues or even lower level divisions.
