AFC Club Competitions Ranking
The AFC Club Competitions Ranking is a ranking system launched by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in 2014.[1] The ranking is based on the results of teams participating in the last four years of the AFC Champions League and the AFC Cup. The ranking is used for determine slot allocation for the AFC member associations in its club competitions.
Calculation principle
The Club Competitions Ranking (former Member Association Ranking, or MA ranking) is used to rank associations and also used for seeding teams in the competitions. It is also used to allocate the number of entries and entry points to the competitions.[2] There are however many shifts each year with associations not meeting off field requirements.
Each team is awarded points based on their performance in AFC club competitions. Points of a country in a season consists of two parts. First is the points earned in group and knockout stages. The total of points earned by all clubs from the country will be divided by the number of participating clubs in that tournament (points from AFC Champions League teams and AFC Cup teams are counted and averaged separately, then added to each other). The second one is the points from qualifying stages. Points earned by all clubs from the country are added up. The sum of those two parts will be the country's points for the season.
The ranking consists of the total of points of member association's clubs over the past four year. The points of the leading team are made 100 points in percentage terms. All other associations are adjusted proportionally to the leading team.

Club ranking
A club ranking was introduced in 2014 by the AFC.[10] It was an informative ranking and not used to seed clubs in the club competitions.[11]
