Japan's J-League's performance stands out in the world soccer league power ranking released by statistics company 'Opta'.
'Opta' updated the world's best league ranking on the 11th (local time) based on its 2024-2025 season performance. The media evaluated and ranked more than 15,000 men's and women's teams around the world through its own analysis system. The intention is to understand which leagues are most concentrated in. 'Opta' is a useful indicator of the overall strength of the league, he explained.
The English Premier League (EPL) scored 92.6 points on the average score of the Opta Power Rating League, making it the number one overall, or the strongest league in the world. Liverpool scored 100 out of 100. Italy's Serie A (91.4 points), Spain's Primera Liga (90.2 points), Germany's Bundesliga (89.5 points), and France's Ligue 1 (89.0 points) ranked fifth. The so-called `Five Major Leagues' are in good shape. Lee Kang-in's team Paris Saint-Germain, which achieved a treble last season, ranked third overall with 99.3 points.

The K-League also failed to stand out in the Asian club rankings. Currently, Jeonbuk (77.4 points) is ranked No. 1 in the K-League, and the global ranking is only 369. It is the 23rd in Asia. Ulsan (77.1 points), Gimcheon (76.2 points), Daejeon (75.6), Pohang (75.6), Seoul (75.5 points), Gwangju (74.9), Gangwon (74.4 points), Jeju (72.7 points), Suwon FC (72.6 points), Anyang (71.1 points), Incheon (71.1 points), and Daegu (71.0 points) ranked in the 300-900 global rankings. It is interpreted as the aftermath of the Asian Champions League's sluggish performance together.
Among the top 10 Asian rankings were Al Hilal (85.3 points), Al Nasr (83.5 points), Al Itihad (82.7 points), Al Ahli (82.5 points), Kashima Antlers (81.7 points), Sanfrecce Hiroshima (81.2 points), Kawasaki Frontale (81.1 points), Shabab Al Ahli (80.9), Vissel Kobe (80.9) and Johoru Darlle Takjim (79.5 points).
