How FIFA Calculates the Club Ranking
FIFA’s club ranking methodology combines three main components:
- Points earned in FIFA‑sanctioned international matches (e.g., FIFA Club World Cup).
- Results in continental competitions such as the UEFA Champions League, CONMEBOL Libertadores, AFC Champions League, CAF Champions League, and CONCACAF Champions League.
- Performance in domestic top‑flight leagues, weighted by the league’s coefficient.
Each component is weighted to ensure that clubs excelling on the world stage receive the highest scores, while strong domestic performance also contributes to the overall ranking. The data are updated quarterly, with the most recent update published in March 2025.
