Why George Weah ranks #119 in Football
George Weah ranks 119th among Football athletes on GOAT Rank and 605th of 1063 across every sport in the index. The published GOAT Score of 81.1 is the weighted result of five verified category scores: Dominance 80, Peak 88, Longevity 76, Honours 80, Statistics 82. Those categories are normalised against the full Football reference universe of 875 records, not a shortlist, so the position reflects the whole sport rather than a handful of famous names.
The record covers 1985–2003 with 16 documented competitive seasons. The strongest single season in that series is 1991, which sets the Peak component at 88. Peak is the defining strength of the profile at 88 out of 100, and it carries 20% of the final score. The underlying career record includes career goals 250, ballon d'or 1, fifa world player 1, serie a titles 2.
Immediately ahead sits Gabriel Batistuta on 80.2, a gap of -0.9 points. Directly behind is Mapi León on 80.7. 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.
