“Two points will be awarded for a win and a point for a draw in the national coefficient, bonus points for promotion will not be credited. No points are counted in the club coefficients, “reports Štěpán Hanuš, Director of Communications of the League Football Association (LFA).
–
“Confirmation is important in the fight for a key TOP15 position in the national ranking, where if our clubs succeed, we gain an advantage over Denmark and Turkey (FC Copenhagen or Galatasaray advance directly to the round of 16),” adds Hanuš.
–
The coefficient is calculated so that the points gained on the field are divided by the number of participants in the country at the beginning of the season, in the Czech case five.

The Czech Republic is currently in 19th place in the UEFA national coefficient ranking, which determines the deployment and number of representatives in individual competitions. The key is the 15th position, which last guarantees five representatives in the cups. The Czech teams are missing half a point from the 19th place to the currently fifteenth Turkey. This season, the 2023/24 deployment is up for grabs.
–
Turkey, sixteenth Greece, seventeenth Croatia and eighteenth Denmark remain ahead of domestic clubs. The order is still extremely balanced, the difference between the 15th and 20th position is only 0.525 points.
–
The development of the Czech coefficient has been declining in recent years. Therefore, domestic clubs in the year 2022/23 will have only four representatives in the cups after a long time. Only the champion will play the qualification of the Champions League, the remaining three will face the Conference League formed this year.
