UEFA INDEX. Despite OGC Nice’s victory on Thursday March 16 in the quarter-finals of the Europa League Conference, France’s UEFA index is threatened by clubs from the Netherlands, which still have two representatives in Europe.
Despite the qualification of OGC Nice Thursday, March 16 in the quarter-finals of the Europa League Conference, the UEFA index of France is still jeopardized by the clubs of the Netherlands. Indeed, if there is only one French team left in Europe, the Netherlands still have two. First in the Europa League, there is always Feyenoord who largely won in the round of 16 on Thursday March 16 against Stade Rennais who struck in the 1/6th final, Shakhtar. In the Europa League Conference, AZ Alkmaar managed, like the Gym, to reach the quarter-finals of European competition.
Yet in the Champions League the Dutch no longer had any team in the final phase unlike France which had PSG. The defeat of PSG, however, fell badly because it followed that of Monaco, Rennes and Nantes who all lost in the 1/6th finals of the Europa League in early March. France could have maintained its lead over the Netherlands. But these poor results are very impactful for French football which is therefore threatened. If France gives up its 5th place in the UEFA ranking, it would mean that it would lose qualifying places for European competitions. There would therefore be fewer clubs representing Ligue 1.
What is the UEFA index by country?
It is this classification which determines the qualifying places for the Champions League or the Europa League and the Europa League Conference. The higher the rank of the country, the more places they have for European competitions. Here is the latest ranking:

- 2nd. Spain: 89,712
- 3rd. Germany: 80.606 points

- 6th. Netherlands: 57.300 points
- 7th. Portugal: 54.716 points
What is the UEFA club index?

What is France’s UEFA index?
France are currently in 5th place and could go down if French clubs do not perform in Europe. Due to rule changes for the next European campaign, this place will qualify.
The club coefficient ranking is calculated on the basis of club results over the previous five UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League seasons. The ranking is used to determine each club’s position in the UEFA club competition draws as explained on the site official.
The club coefficient ranking for the season is established on the basis of the results of the clubs involved in the current UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League and UEFA Europa Conference League. This ranking, combined with that of the previous four seasons, determines whether the club is seeded in the UEFA competition draws.
Club coefficients are determined either by the sum of all points won over the past five years OR the association coefficient over the same period, with priority given to the highest.
The season coefficient of an association (country) is calculated by adding the points obtained by all its clubs in a given season in the UEFA Champions League (UCL), UEFA Europa League (UEL) and UEFA Europa Conference League (UECL ), then dividing the total by the number of clubs from that association that have participated in the three UEFA club competitions in question.
