The highest-rated men's clubs include Wanderers Football Club, Royal Engineers Association Football Club, and Crystal Palace Football Club.
Ratings are calculated using the proprietary LunaRodas Algorithm, which analyzes historical tournament results, league positions, and competitive achievements.
