How Revolutionary Is Your Football Club?

Powered by the Trabzon Revolution Index

A new way to evaluate football clubs — not by trophies, but by how they change the balance of power in football.

In football history, some clubs dominate for decades.

Others quietly challenge them.

But only a few clubs truly disrupt the system and change the hierarchy of the game.

This project measures how revolutionary a football club really is.


This index evaluates football clubs across four key dimensions:

  • Breaking domestic dominance
  • Speed of rise to the top
  • Sustainability of success
  • Impact against major clubs in Europe
