UEFA 2026/27 Country Coefficient ranking | 1st qualifying round, 1st leg
Source is good ol' trusty [kassiesa.net](https://kassiesa.net/uefa/index.html).
New autumn-spring football season has started... *^(What do you mean that the previous one didn't end yet? Who would think every second summer that playing Champions/Europa/Conference League qualifiers and World Cup/Euros at the same time would be a good idea? You know how many people are eligible to play in both?...)* and with it we start another season of Coefficient Wars.
Originally I was planning to skip this post, both because France - Morocco was happening and because current results are super skewed\*, but I have decided that it would be unfair for the countries that will lose at least one club after this round to never have that green 3/3 or 4/4 shown in the graphics.
For the order of images: first is [current situation in country coefficient ranking](https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/crank2027.html); second is [how the previous season ended](https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/crank2026.html) (to see who lost how much from erasing the 21/22 season); third is [point split per country](https://kassiesa.net/uefa/data/method5/ccoef2027.html) (only really interesting for countries with teams in qualifiers; and the last three are match results.
For people interested in club coefficient ranking, in qualifying rounds it doesn't care about match results, only about how far you will go before being eliminated *or* if you will qualify to a league stage of any competition. That's why for small countries it is important to send the same teams to European competitions every year - they can build their club coefficient score this way and hope to be seeded in later qualifying rounds.
\* **Why some countries have over a point (and in some cases over 3 points) added already without playing any game?** ***Answer***: Depending on the methodology, some sites talking about coefficients add every "secured" point a club/country "will score" from being in certain round (or certain position), before said round will happen/finish. In this case, all the teams that are pre-qualified to Champions League's league stage are sure to get at least 6 "bonus" points, because that's what being on places 25^(th) to 36^(th) gives you at the end of the league stage.
