UEFA No. 181 No.181 • November/December • 2018 No.181 ANYONE, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE Grassroots football celebrated throughout Europe EDITORIAL Theodore Theodoridis UEFA General Secretary INNOVATION THROUGH CONSULTATION he first few months of the 2018/19 season have brought excitement and innovation for UEFA and European football: a new competition, new technology, and new T tournament hosts. The UEFA Nations League has got off to a thrilling start; the Executive Committee has decided to introduce video assistant referees (VAR) in the 2019/20 UEFA Champions League; and Germany has been selected to host the UEFA EURO 2024. UEFA is not in the business of making changes without good reason or by diktat. All these initiatives are the result of dialogue and consultation, and all have the same end goal: the continued success and further development of European football. UEFA, its member associations, and key stakeholders in the European Club Association and the European Leagues are working together for the good of the game. Football is a team game and UEFA is a team player. Consultation underpinned the creation of the UEFA Nations League, which kicked off in September. Turkey’s ecstatic celebrations after Emre Akbaba’s late double saw them come back from 2-0 down to win against Sweden; Kosovo’s joy at their first competitive match win, against the Faroe Islands; and Spain’s victories over England and Croatia after a disappointing World Cup showed how much this competition already means to players. Just as the UEFA Nations League was only introduced after extensive research and debate, UEFA has been careful not to rush the introduction of video assistant referees. Bringing in VAR in August 2019 will give us enough time to put in place a robust system and train match officials to ensure it is efficient and successful. Finally, I would like to congratulate Germany on winning the vote to host UEFA EURO 2024, and to pay tribute to both Germany and Turkey, two strong footballing nations, for submitting such impressive bids.

  • New UEFA National Team Coefficient Ranking System 20 May 2008
    New UEFA National Team Coefficient Ranking System 20 May 2008 New UEFA National Team Coefficient Ranking System 1. Purpose of the UEFA national team coefficient The UEFA national team coefficient is an important tool for ensuring sporting balance and fairness in both the qualifying and final rounds of the UEFA European Football Championship. It is used in particular for the pot allocation for the qualifying draw and the final draw, and it is therefore crucial that the coefficient system reflects the real strength of each team as best as possible. 2. Current UEFA coefficient system The current UEFA coefficient system is generated according to the results achieved in the most recent qualifying competitions for the UEFA European Football Championship and the FIFA World Cup. The total number of points obtained in the qualifying competitions of both of the aforementioned competitions is divided by the number of matches played and the resulting coefficient is used for the rankings. In the case of an association that qualifies automatically for the final round of one of the competitions in question (as host association), the coefficient is calculated on the basis of its results in its most recent qualifying competition. The system has the advantage of offering a good comparison of the team strengths in the qualifying competitions. In addition, it is transparent and simple to calculate. However, the fact that matches played during final tournaments are not taken into account distorts the rankings significantly and does not reflect reality. 3. New proposed UEFA system 3.1. Cornerstones and principles 3.1.1. Matches taken into consideration All national A-team matches played in UEFA EURO and the FIFA World Cup qualifying competitions and final tournaments are taken into consideration.
