The rankings will be used as a guide towards creating the seeds and pools in the Euro Cup, along with other factors.
The rankings were conducted using the World Footy News - Homes raking method. It is not an exhaustive list for all eligible games. For reasons of simplicity, it includes all matches comprising Australian players. As more and more 9-a-side games are played under a modified version of the International Cup rules, changes to the matches accepted and ranking method may take place.
We offer our sincere thanks for WFN for their valuable assistance in putting the rankings together.
