Euro club index
The Euro Club Index is a European association football ranking system, devised and updated by the Dutch sports statistics company, Infostrada Sports.
The Index is updated weekly, and gives a ranking of all 723 clubs in the highest division of all European countries, showing their relative playing strengths at a given point in time, and the development of playing strengths in time.
