Why Dida ranks #71 in Football
Dida ranks 71st among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 115th of 4013 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 88.0 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 86, Peak 92, Longevity 86, Honours 90, Statistics 86. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 895 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1992–2015 with 24 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 2003, which sets the Peak component at 92. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 92 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes champions league titles 2, world cup titles 1, serie a titles 2, club world cup titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Oleg Blokhin on 88.1, a gap of 0.1 points. Directly behind is Ariane Hingst on 88.0. The position moves whenever the verified record moves: new titles, new seasons or a corrected source all feed straight back into the same formula, and every change is dated on this profile.
