Fenerbahçe win boosts Türkiye’s UEFA coefficient and cements top-10 spot | OneFootball

Türkiye strengthened its top-10 place in the UEFA country coefficient rankings after Fenerbahçe beat Sturm Graz 2-0 in the first leg of the Champions League third qualifying round.

According to Fanatik, the win at the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium delivered bonus points that lifted the national total to 47.375 and kept Türkiye ninth in Europe.

The result increased the cushion over Czechia on 43.825 and Poland on 43.025, while Türkiye remain behind the Netherlands in eighth on 51.229.

Protecting a top-10 finish matters for the Trendyol Süper Lig, safeguarding direct entry to future Champions League league stages.

Fenerbahçe carry a two-goal lead into the return leg with Sturm Graz, and with Besiktaş and Trabzonspor also in qualifying, Turkish clubs look well positioned to defend that standing through the 2026/27 campaign.
