The website's methodology differs from the rankings issued by continental federations for regulatory purposes, such as the UEFA ranking used in some tournament procedures and draws.
The club rankings remain subject to change as new matches are played and results are updated, giving teams the opportunity to improve their positions based on their performance in domestic and continental competitions.
