ANNEX I: National Team Coefficient Ranking System 1. 1.1. Cornerstones and principles Matches taken into consideration All national A-team matches played in UEFA European Football Championship and FIFA World Cup qualifying competitions (including play-off matches) and final tournaments are taken into consideration. Friendly matches do not count. Reference period An entire tournament (qualifying competition plus final tournament) is referred to in this annex as a cycle. If reference is made only to the most recent qualifying competition this is defined as a half cycle. For the calculation of the national team coefficient to be used for the qualifying draw or the final draw, two and a half cycles are taken into account, i.e. the last three qualifying competitions and the last two final tournaments. 1.2.1. Qualifying draw For the calculation of the national team coefficient to be used for the qualifying draw for the 201012 UEFA European Football Championship, the following competitions are taken into consideration: a) 2006 FIFA World Cup (qualifying competition and final tournament) b) UEFA EURO 2008 (qualifying competition and final tournament) c) 2010 FIFA World Cup (qualifying competition) 1.2.2. Final draw For the calculation of the national team coefficient to be used for the final draw for the 201012 UEFA European Football Championship, the following competitions are taken into consideration: a) UEFA EURO 2008 (qualifying competition and final tournament) b) 2010 FIFA World Cup (qualifying competition and final tournament) c) UEFA EURO 2012 (qualifying competition) Match points Points are awarded for each match played in the qualifying competition and final tournament. For each match, points are awarded as follows: a) 10,000 points are awarded to each national team irrespective of the result. b) A win is worth 30,000 points and a draw 10,000 points. c) For each goal scored, 501 points are added, and for each goal conceded, 500 points are deducted. This rule also applies to any goals scored during extra time.

d) For the play-off matches, the points according to paragraphs a) to c) above are awarded after normal playing time for the first leg and after normal playing time, or extra time if applicable, for the second leg. No points are awarded for the penalty shoot-out. e) If a knock-out match in a final tournament ends with a penalty shoot-out, both teams are awarded 10,000 points (as for a draw). In addition, the winning team is awarded an extra 10,000 points. The goals scored in the penalty shoot-out do not count. Example: Team A defeats Team B 4-1 Team A Team B + 10,000 points for each match + 30,000 points for a win + 501 points for a goal scored - 500 points for a goal conceded Total match points 1.4. 10,000 30,000 4x 501 1x (-500) 41,504 10,000 n/a 1x 501 4x (-500) 8,501

Bonus points To acknowledge the different levels of difficulty encountered in different stages of a competition and to give it a weighting in the calculation, bonus points as indicated in the table below are awarded to teams for any match in the qualifying competition play-offs and in the final tournaments. Bonuses are guaranteed and do not depend on the result of the respective match.

Cycle calculation For each individual national team, the points obtained in all official matches during a given cycle (or half cycle) are added together and divided by the number of matches played during such period. The result is the coefficient of the cycle (or half cycle). For teams that do not qualify for a final tournament, only results of matches played in the qualifying competition are taken into account to calculate the coefficient of the cycle.

Weighting factor More recent results are given greater consideration. The coefficient of the half cycle counts twice (weighting factor 2), the coefficient of the most recent cycle also counts twice (weighting factor 2) and the coefficient of the less recent cycle counts once (weighting factor 1). Calculation method for compiling the rankings The coefficients of the relevant two and a half cycles are each multiplied by their respective weighting factor, added up and divided by five (corresponding to the sum of the weighting factors). The result is the overall coefficient of the national team, which is used to compile the rankings.

Particular cases a) For associations that have not participated in certain cycles in the relevant reference period, only cycles (and/or the half cycle) in which they were involved are taken into account with their respective weighting factor. The final result is divided by the sum of the weighting factors of the cycles (and/or the half cycle) concerned. b) In the case of an association that hosted a UEFA EURO or FIFA World Cup final tournament during one of the last two full cycles and therefore has no points from the tournament qualifying competition, the points earned in the qualifying competition in the previous cycle are used (e.g. if an association hosted a UEFA EURO final round and therefore has no points from the corresponding qualifying competition, the points earned in the qualifying competition of the preceding FIFA World Cup are used). c) In the case of an association hosting the next final tournament (either UEFA EURO or FIFA World Cup), which will therefore not have participated in the last qualifying competition (i.e. the qualifying competition preceding the draw for which the rankings are used), the coefficient will be based solely on the last two cycles with their respective weighting factors.
