    Group 6 winner vs. Group 5 runner-up
    Group 8 winner vs. Group 7 runner-up

Coefficients and Spots

Each international club match is an opportunity for a team to gain points towards their federation international ranking. Points can be gained as follows:

  • Match wins, 3 points
  • Match draws, 1 point
  • Final win 4 points

The coefficient is then calculated by summing the Champions League points and dividing them by the participating teams from that country. The same happens with the Continental Points. When we have the average of both competitions for each country, they are both summed together (giving the champions league points a weight of 1.5) and that will be the current season coefficient for each country. At the end of the season, the results are checked and the next season slots will be given based on that ranking.
