What changed in the UEFA ranking after Olympiacos win?
Olympiacos collected three points from the 2-1 victory over Jagiellonia Bialystok in the league phase. Greece’s coefficient rose to 44.612. The Czech Republic and Poland remain tied on 45.125 points in 10th position. The gap between Greece and that spot now stands at 513 points. The win delivered a double benefit for Greece by also dropping Poland to 11th place in the UEFA association ranking.
Why does 10th place matter?
The 10th-ranked association receives an automatic berth in the league phase of the following season’s UEFA Champions League for its domestic champion. Greece has not held that spot in recent years. Reaching the position would give the Greek league winner direct entry without preliminary rounds.
How does the result affect Poland?
Poland dropped to 11th place after the loss of its club side Jagiellonia. The two associations now swap relative positions in the chase for the final top-10 spot. Greece reduced the deficit while Poland lost ground in the same ranking calculation.
