Türkiye stay ninth as UEFA coefficients updated after Fenerbahçe’s draw with Roma | OneFootball

Türkiye remain ninth in the UEFA country coefficient rankings after the opening week of the Champions League main stage lifted the national total to 49.875. Holding a top-10 spot is key, keeping direct routes to the Champions League group phase open in future seasons.

According to Turkish-Football.com, the table was updated on Friday after the conclusion of the opening week of the UEFA Champions League main stage. A day earlier Galatasaray were beaten 3-1 by Sporting CP in Lisbon, before Fenerbahçe earned a 1-1 draw against AS Roma at the Chobani Stadyumu FB Şükrü Saracoğlu in Kadıköy on Thursday night.

England lead the coefficients, with Italy, Spain and Germany next, and France in fifth.

Fenerbahçe continue their European campaign on 14 October when they travel to England to face Aston Villa, while Roma prepare to host Real Madrid.

With further group fixtures across the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League through the autumn, results for Turkish clubs will be central to preserving a cushion over 10th-placed Poland and 11th-placed Czechia.
