How the FIFA World Ranking is calculated

Points per match formula:
P = M x I x T x C

M: Points for the result:

3 points for a win
1 point for a draw
0 points for a loss
2 points for a win on penalties
1 point for a loss on penalties

I: Match status:

Friendly: 1.0
WC group stage & continental qualification: 2.5
Continental finals & FIFA Confederations Cup: 3.0
WC final tournament: 4.0

T: Opponent strength:
Based on the world ranking at the time of the match. Formula: 200 minus ranking position of the opponent. From position 150 a minimum value of 50 is used. The team at rank 1 gets a value of 200.

C: Confederation strength:
Each confederation is weighted differently. When two teams from different confederations play, the average of both is used. Confederation strength is based on wins in the last 3 World Cups — current coefficients:

CONMEBOL (South America): 1,0
UEFA (Europe): 0,99
CONCACAF (North & Central America) 0,88
AFC/CAF (Asia / Africa) 0,86
OFC (Oceania) 0,85

Total points calculation:
The total is calculated from matches over the last 48 months. More recent matches are weighted higher:

2026: 100%
2025: 50%
2024: 30%
2023: 20%

Finally, the average points per match is calculated, which gives the final value per team.
