The UEFA country rankings measure the performance of clubs representing each national football association in European competitions over a five-season period. Points are awarded based on match results and progress in tournaments such as the UEFA Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.
The rankings determine how many clubs each country can enter in these competitions and at which qualifying stages they begin.
They are updated throughout the season following European matches, allowing countries to improve their positions through their clubs' performances. Strong results can help a country earn additional places in future European competitions.
