Oosterpark Rankings
Welcome to the Oosterpark Rankings, the most complete historical club football rankings on the internet. On this site, you will find club world rankings calculated from the very beginning of football as we know it in the season 1871/1872. The main part of the rankings is the all-time club world ranking, composed by taking into account almost 60,000 database entries in terms of trophies won and (bonus)points obtained, awarded to around 4,500 clubs across the globe. That basically means all club football competitions "worth mentioning", at domestic league and cup level as well as continental and intercontinental competitions were taken into account. From Real Madrid to Zoundourma, any club that's ever won anything noteworthy is listed somewhere in the rankings. The Oosterpark Rankings take an interest only in club football and regional and world club rankings. At times, requests for league or even international football rankings have been made, but there are enough of those available on the internet. To the best of my knowledge, there is no comparable all-time club football ranking though, certainly not at world club level, which is why ClubWorldRankings.com focuses on them. By its very nature the project will always be 'work in progress'. This is why occasionally retroactive changes to the rankings may occur, even though with the 10th anniversary update of 27 September 2009, we've passed the point where it affects the top of the rankings. Nevertheless, whenever hitherto unknown facts, competitions and the like surface, they will be included in the rankings.

Curtains on 2011 Posted 04.12.2011 by Mark de Vries And so the year is nearly over. As we speak, the title race in Brazil and possibly Argentina are about to come to their conclusion. Just under one hour ago, the penultimate continental trophy, the CAF Confederation Cup, was handed over to MAS Fés, while Copa Sudamericana will see new holders in a week and a half, followed by the coronation of the 2011 Club World Champions the following weekend. Furthermore, the major August-to-May leagues are starting to get really interesting, and a good few clubs further down the Oosterpark Rankings are jockeying themselves into a good position for a major leap up the all-time table come spring. Enough points to play for then, in the middle of the festive season, so no let off for the Oosterpark Rankings either. That does put the site & software overhaul on the back burner until January, but then you didn't come to clubworldrankings.com for its pretty looks. Content remains #1 over here. Speaking of which: in the countdown to 2012, we'll be releasing the long-awaited rankings by decade one at a time, starting Wednesday 7 December with the 70s. The 1870s that is. |

Recopa Mundial The Oosterpark Rankings present further expansion with the introduction of the Recopa Mundial, a boxing-style title contest featuring all former Intercontinental and World Club champions. For full details, use the site navigation at the top of this page. Current champions:  Internacional
Not for the first time, Andrés D'Alessandro played an important role in a Recopa Mundial. The Argetine midfielder despatched a 61st minute penalty kick for the only goal of the game, as his side Internacional dethroned arch rivals Grêmio as trophy holders. While not enough to secure Inter a spot in next year's Copa Libertadores - the last ticket went to Flamengo who denied Vasco da Gama the league title in the process - it does make the Porto Alegre side the unofficial best club among the elite band of (former) Club World Champions at the turn of the year. The preliminary schedule for Recopa Mundial 2012 starts with a 5 February clash between the same two sides. Or, probably more precisely, between the same two clubs. That tie will be played at Grêmio's home ground and will count towards next year's Campeonato Gaúcho. |

Business Era Club Football Rankings One of the many rankings available through the site navigation are the Club Football Rankings since 1992, called "the business era rankings" since 1992 was the year when money started to talk more than ever in football, as Champions League and Premier League were founded. This ranking probably suits the football fan with a passion for short(er) term achievements. In any case, it does take away the historical advantage early-organised countries may enjoy in the real all-time rankings starting in 1872 (even though in actual fact this effect is rather small, as explained in the Guide to the Rankings). 
"Follow the money"to see the up-to-date version of this modern day ranking 2011 Overview A quick glance at the theoretical number of 2011 points still available... Primary Majors: 30 trophies for 147 pts Secondary Majors: 31 trophies for 23 pts Minor trophies: 11 trophies for 9 pts Bonus points: 55 bonuses for 25 pts 2011 Points Map available here:  Selected upcoming points decisions: December: FIFA Club World Cup December: South American leagues, including Brazil and Argentina Disclaimer We're allergic to disclaimers, so let it suffice to say that all stuff like club logos are the property of their respective owners etc... Please note these rankings are not officially endorsed by FIFA (there is no such thing as an official FIFA club world ranking because FIFA doesn't rank football clubs, it restricts itself to national teams) or any of its regional or national (con)federations. Nor are the Oosterpark Rankings in any way linked to the IFFHS club world ranking, be it their monthly club world ranking or their "all-time" world ranking, which isn't all-time in the first place. 
August 16 Court
The August 16 Court is the place where decisions regarding the all-time rankings are made when arguments are put forward for inclusion of "missing" competitions, re-valuation of events etc... Its second case concerned FK Pribram and whether or not it was to be seen as a continuation of Dukla Praha, as was the case until now. Sources at the time the Oosterpark Rankings were first drawn up were adament that the club that by then had changed its name to FC Marila Príbram was at least the spiritual successor carrying on Dukla's tradition, but events over the years have taken away the power behind the original argument. To cap it all off, a new club has emerged under the name of one of the former Eastern Block's most illustrious teams, although that has a pretty weak case if it would ever to claim to be THE famous Dukla from the Czech capital. This case does appear to have a lot in common with the old Wimbledon FC: being moved elsewhere in the country and fans starting a new club with pretty much the old name. In that situation, the old club was considered extinct as far as the Oosterpark Rankings are concerned, with potential new future entries for MK Dons (the owners' path) and AFC Wimbledon (the fans' route). That is also how clubworldrankings.com will treat the Prague case. Ultimately, the rankings have been adapted to split the combined 1,082 points those clubs scored. The 1,077 scored under the Dukla Praha name (until 1990, though the club ceased to exist six years later) are listed as such, leaving that club in 87th place in the all-time rankings, as was the place of the continuation club now playing in Pribram. It makes Dukla the highest ranked club that doesn't exist anymore today, taking that sad accolade over from Admira Wien, with Belfast Celtic now third on that list. As for 1.FK Pribram: they find themselves back in 2326th position, with five points to their name, the last of them coming in 2004. None of us will live to see the day they pass the legendary Dukla, if they ever will... Site Origins These club world rankings were named after FC Groningen's old Oosterpark Stadium, which was closed and demolished in 2006. And in case you were wondering where the green star logo comes from: that too is meant to uphold a tradition: for many years the Oosterpark Rankings were hosted by zelenazvezda.com, which is Bulgarian for green star.  Current Leaders Apart from the all-time world club rankings, this site also features many regional listings: by continent (or by confederation membership to be precise), and, in the case of the stronger leagues, domestic ratings too. The latter ones do include points scored outside a nation's boundaries as well, so as not to be reduced to a simple reflection of the number of league titles, which they otherwise would turn out to be. Other available rankings include those per era (19th, 20th and 21st century, continental competition era, business era. The full historical tables are available through the navigation button at the top of each page. What follows below is a quick glance at the (current) leaders in those sub-categories.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Eredivisie Seamless  To ease the Monday morning discussions at the office as to which team is doing so much better or worse than last season, this way of looking at the Dutch Eredivisie table was generated. Feel free to ignore it like the rest of the non-scouting world usually does when it comes to my local league. |
