DL M No. NT P&R UWCL Average Domestic League Million Number National Team Promotion and Relegation UEFA Women’s Champions League Additional notes: The entry entitled “Top level where women referee matches” refers to matches outside women’s football. Budgets presented in currencies other than Euros may have altered slightly as a result of changes to exchange rates. UEFA coefficients/rankings and FIFA rankings were calculated on 23rd September 2015 and 5th October 2015 respectively. Domestic club teams from Liechtenstein, Andorra and San Marino are playing in leagues organised by bordering countries (Switzerland, Spain and Italy respectively). They do not have a domestic league in their own country. The entry entitled “No. of dedicated staff for women’s football” covers only staff dedicated entirely to women’s football. The large increase in the total number of Hungarian youth players is due to a youth programme that the association did not take into account last year. The number of professional players refers to people playing in the domestic league and not players from that country playing abroad. The average attendance for national team matches refers to women’s A national teams. The number of registered female players over 18 years old in Azerbaijan is 0 because registration was not yet finished at the time the booklet was printed. The total number of registered female players in Germany refers only to players registered on digital match sheets (approximately 80% of all Grassroots matches). The total number of registered female players in Slovakia in 2014-15 was incorrect as large numbers of non-active players (since 1993) were included. For this reason “-” is marked around the growth since 2014-15. The dash “-” between two youth teams (for instance U14-U17) means that they have all the categories between (in this case U14, U15, U16 and U17). 11 Albania Registered players 2015/16 National teams & national team coaches Total No. of registered female players 360 Senior national team?
