Belgian football teams achieve historic coefficient record in Europe, and they’re not done yet
Belgium’s football scene has never been more impressive. In a year marred by the Covid-19 pandemic, Belgian clubs have managed to achieve a historic feat in European football.
Belgian clubs make history in Europe
Belgian football clubs have long been considered out of the top-tier teams in the continent, but in recent years, that has been changing. This season, the Belgian Jupiler Pro League has become the first country ever to have all of its participants in the Champions League and Europa League primarily through their own qualification. That, on its own, is a great achievement.
But in addition, UEFA has announced that Belgium will be officially named the best-ranked country of European football in 2020. The shift was largely a result of the country’s success in the Champions League, where five of the six representatives progressed past the group stage, and four of them qualified for the knockouts.
Belgian coefficient record
As Belgium celebrates the above achievement, it’s also worth noting they have set a new coefficient record by achieving an average of 13 points in UEFA competitions. This record surpasses the existing one set by Spain, Germany, and England.
With the impressive performances of Belgium’s football clubs in European matches, Belgium will look to maintain its position. Belgium has shown that they have the talent to compete with the top European clubs and the world’s best players.
The future of Belgian football clubs in future seasons
With Belgium now ranked as the top country in Europe, it opens doors for the country’s clubs. Belgian clubs will no longer be considered a pushover while applying for UEFA’s competitions. The new ranking means more funds from UEFA, which will help the country’s football scene develop.
In addition, it is worth noting that Belgium has a pool of young talents coming through the ranks. It’s only a matter of time before these players get recognized. And this could help Belgian football clubs maintain their impressive run-in seasons to come.
Belgian football club’s success in Europe is a platform for growth
