Ranking football clubs around the world
Club-level football around the world, from the Champions League down to the CFU Club Championship.
The world team ranking
The global ranking is the core of the project. As the methods section explains, it adapts FIFA's ranking procedure for national teams to club football. We make no claim that it is accurate; no global football ranking can. Treat it as an experiment. It updates every Tuesday.
It covers 3,018 clubs across 174 countries, built from 901,868 matches in 260 competitions, 2,445,909 goals in all.
