EFA COUNTRY COEFFICIENT SYSTEM
The EFA Country Coefficient Ranking determines how many clubs each nation may enter into future editions of the EFA Champions League.
The ranking is based entirely on sporting performance.
Only results achieved in official EFA Champions League matches are considered.
Every season, each participating club earns points for its nation.
After the season has concluded, all points earned by clubs from the same nation are added together.
That total is then divided by the number of clubs representing that nation.
The resulting number becomes the country's coefficient for that season.
Only the most recent five seasons are counted.
When a sixth season is completed, the oldest season is removed automatically.
────────────────────────────
Example
Nation A enters four clubs.
Total points earned:
48
48 χ 4 = 12.000
Nation A receives a seasonal coefficient of:
12.000
This value is added to the nation's five-year ranking.
