UEFA national teams coefficients ranking

Hi, is UEFA national teams coefficients ranking correct? I saw in another websites differents in Poland and Ukraine coefficients.

All National Ranking UEFA is based on UEFA regulations, so it should be correct and final.

Coefficients of Poland and Ukraine (and all hosts of Euro/World Cup) are different because new regulation:

"In the case of an association that has hosted a UEFA EURO or FIFA World Cup final tournament during one of the reference periods and therefore has no points from the respective qualifying competition, the points earned in the most recent qualifying competition in which the association has taken part are used."

I don't know which site you are talking about, but I guess they didn't count with regulation mentioned above

Can you explain what is the difference of adding bonus points in UEFA National Team Ranking which you mentioned at the main page?

[Admin]

Bonus points for play-off match were 6 000 (now 4 000).
Bonus points for group stage match at Euro was 9 000 and at World Cup 6 000 (now both 8 000).
Bonus points for round of 16 match were 9 000 (now 12 000).

Thank you!

So the importance of play-offs is now smaller and importance of round of 16 - greater, while the importance of Euro and World Cup is equalised.

Just strengthening the "power" of final tournaments, what can't surprise at all...

Interesting was fact that if some team qualified for play-off and didn't win at least one match - had less points at the end (than it would have without play-off participation).

And after new bonus points it is even worse. So if we look only on coefficients, it's much better to not play play-off than to be eliminated in play-off..
