It is undeniable that the Brasileirão is currently one of the best leagues in the entire world. The number of established stars and young promises who, year after year, strive to stand out and compete for the coveted national title have made the Brazilian First Division one of the strongest championships on the American continent, and its dominance in international competitions proves it.

Not in vain, according to the information published by GiveMeSport, who used the data from the Opta Power Ranking to compile a ranking of the 30 best leagues in the world today, the Brasileirão managed to comfortably enter the TOP-10.

Today at Sambafoot we focus on this topic.

According to the aforementioned sources, it is not surprising that the top 5 leagues in the world currently are the so-called “big leagues” of Europe. The Premier League, which includes various distinguished Brazilians such as Bruno Guimarães or Casemiro, among others, is the best league on the list with a total score of 87.59.

On the other hand, LaLiga EA Sports featuring Vinicius, Rodrygo, Endrick, or Raphinha takes second place in the ranking with a score of 84.8. The Serie A of Italy takes the bronze with 84.7 points and the Bundesliga of Germany (84.3) and Ligue 1 of France (83.6), complete the TOP-5.

It is quite surprising that the English Second Division, the Championship, ranks seventh in the ranking with a score of 76.38, as well as the presence of the Spanish Second Division, LaLiga Hypermotion (75.48), in ninth position.

However, the real surprise is the presence of the only non-European league in the TOP-10: the Brasileirão, the first division of Brazilian football. Comfortably entering this select group of the top 10 leagues in the world, this championship scored a total of 75.31, significantly outpacing the eleventh-placed Liga MX (75.16).
