UEFA national and seasonal coefficient rankings

Overview

European football clubs continue to influence their respective nations' positions in the UEFA coefficient rankings through various competition performances.

Croatia moved into 20th place in the UEFA national coefficient rankings, overtaking Sweden. This shift was supported by Dinamo Zagreb’s scoreless draw in Bucharest, bringing Croatia’s five-year coefficient to 25.906. The nation maintains an advantage over Sweden due to having two active clubs in European competitions.

Greece has seen significant movement in the rankings. Following successes by AEK in the Champions League and wins by Olympiacos and OFI in the Europa League, Greece climbed to 9th place in the seasonal coefficient rankings. Statistical models previously indicated a 59.2% probability that Greece would finish the season in the top 10.

Greece has since climbed to 10th place in the UEFA coefficient rankings, marking its highest position since the 2011/2012 season. This ascent was driven by Olympiacos securing a 1-0 victory against Marseille in France and Panathinaikos defeating Borac 2-1. Although OFI suffered a 2-1 loss to Rennes, the cumulative results allowed Greece to move ahead of Poland (45,525 points) and the Czech Republic (45,325 points), reaching a total of 45,812 points. Turkey remains in 9th place with 50,675 points.

Maintaining this 10th position by the end of the current season carries long-term implications: the Greek league champion in 2028 would secure direct entry into the Champions League League Phase, altering the distribution of European qualification spots.
