</TBODY></TABLE>
<P>The <B>FIFA World Ranking</B> is a ranking system for men's national teams in association football, currently led by <A href="/wiki/Germany_national_football_team" title="Germany national football team">Germany</A>.<SUP id="cite_ref-FIFA_1-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-FIFA-1">[1]</A></SUP> The teams of the <A href="/wiki/List_of_men%27s_national_football_teams" class="mw-redirect" title="List of men's national football teams">member nations</A> of <A href="/wiki/FIFA" title="FIFA">FIFA</A>, football's world governing body, are ranked based on their game results with the most successful teams being ranked highest. The rankings were introduced in December 1992, and eight teams (<A href="/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team" title="Argentina national football team">Argentina</A>, <A href="/wiki/Belgium_national_football_team" title="Belgium national football team">Belgium</A>, <A href="/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team" title="Brazil national football team">Brazil</A>, <A href="/wiki/France_national_football_team" title="France national football team">France</A>, <A href="/wiki/Germany_national_football_team" title="Germany national football team">Germany</A>, <A href="/wiki/Italy_national_football_team" title="Italy national football team">Italy</A>, the <A href="/wiki/Netherlands_national_football_team" title="Netherlands national football team">Netherlands</A> and <A href="/wiki/Spain_national_football_team" title="Spain national football team">Spain</A>) have held the top position, of which Brazil have spent longest ranked first.</P>
<P>A points system is used, with points being awarded based on the results of all FIFA-recognised full international matches. Under the existing system, rankings are based on a team's performance over the last four years, with more recent results and more significant matches being more heavily weighted to help reflect the current competitive state of a team.</P>
<P>The ranking system was most recently revamped after the <A href="/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup" title="2006 FIFA World Cup">2006 World Cup</A>, with the first edition of the new series of rankings issued on 12 July 2006. The most significant change is that the rankings are now based on results over the previous four years instead of the previous eight years. The change is perceived to respond to criticisms that the FIFA World Rankings, based upon the previous calculation method in use from January 1999 to June 2006, did not effectively reflect the relative strengths of the national teams.</P>
<P>Alternative systems have been devised, such as the <A href="/wiki/World_Football_Elo_Ratings" title="World Football Elo Ratings">World Football Elo Ratings</A>, based on the <A href="/wiki/Elo_rating_system" title="Elo rating system">Elo rating system</A> used in <A href="/wiki/Chess" title="Chess">chess</A> and <A href="/wiki/Go_(game)" title="Go (game)">Go</A>, ranking teams.</P>
<P>In September 2017, FIFA announced they were reviewing the ranking system and will decide after the end of the <A href="/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification" title="2018 FIFA World Cup qualification">2018 FIFA World Cup qualification</A> if any changes are to be made to improve the ranking.<SUP id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-2">[2]</A></SUP></P>

<P>In December 1992, FIFA first published a listing in rank order of its member associations to provide a basis for comparison of the relative strengths of these teams. From the following August, this list was more frequently updated, to be published most months.<SUP id="cite_ref-FIFAcoke_3-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-FIFAcoke-3">[3]</A></SUP> Significant changes were implemented in January 1999 and again in July 2006, as a reaction to criticisms of the system.<SUP id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-4">[4]</A></SUP> Historical records of the rankings, such as listed at FIFA.com, reflect the method of calculation in use at the time, as the current method has not been applied retrospectively to rankings prior to July 2006. Membership of FIFA has expanded from 167 to 209 since the rankings began; all 209 members are currently included in the rankings.</P>
<H3><SPAN id="1993–1998_calculation_method"></SPAN><SPAN class="mw-headline" id="1993.E2.80.931998_calculation_method">1993–1998 calculation method</SPAN><SPAN class="mw-editsection"><SPAN class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</SPAN><A href="/w/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Rankings&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: 1993–1998 calculation method">edit</A><SPAN class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</SPAN></SPAN></H3>
<P>The ranking formula used from August 1993 until December 1998 was very simplistic and quickly became noticed for its lack of supporting factors. When the rankings were initially introduced, a team received one point for a draw or three for a victory in FIFA-recognised matches – much the same as <A href="/wiki/Three_points_for_a_win" title="Three points for a win">a traditional league scoring system</A>. This was a quite simplistic approach, however, and FIFA quickly realised that there were many factors affecting international matches.</P>

<P>In order to meet the objective of fairly and accurately comparing the relative strengths of various national sides, the system was updated in 1999. The major changes were as follows:</P>
<UL>
<LI>the point ranking was scaled up by a factor of ten</LI>
<LI>the method of calculation was changed to take into account factors including:
<UL>
<LI>the number of goals scored or conceded</LI>
<LI>whether the match was played at home or away</LI>
<LI>the importance of a match or competition</LI>
<LI>regional strength</LI>
</UL>
</LI>
<LI>a fixed number of points were no longer necessarily awarded for a victory or a draw</LI>
<LI>match losers were able to earn points</LI>
</UL>
<P>Two new awards were introduced as part of the system:</P>
<UL>
<LI><A href="#Team_of_the_Year">Team of the Year</A></LI>
<LI><A href="#Best_Mover_of_the_Year">Best Mover of the Year</A></LI>
</UL>
<P>The changes made the ranking system more complex, but helped improve its accuracy by making it more comprehensive.</P>

<P>In January 1999, FIFA introduced a revised system of ranking calculation, incorporating many changes in response to criticism of inappropriate rankings. For the ranking all matches, their scores and importance were all recorded, and were used in the calculation procedure. Only matches for the senior men's national team were included. Separate ranking systems were used for other representative national sides such as women's and junior teams, for example the <A href="/wiki/FIFA_Women%27s_World_Rankings" title="FIFA Women's World Rankings">FIFA Women's World Rankings</A>. The women's rankings were, and still are, based on a procedure which is a simplified version of the Football Elo Ratings.<SUP id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-5">[5]</A></SUP></P>
<H3><SPAN class="mw-headline" id="2006_ranking_system_update">2006 ranking system update</SPAN><SPAN class="mw-editsection"><SPAN class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</SPAN><A href="/w/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Rankings&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: 2006 ranking system update">edit</A><SPAN class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</SPAN></SPAN></H3>
<P>FIFA announced that the ranking system would be updated following the <A href="/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup" title="2006 FIFA World Cup">2006 World Cup</A>. The evaluation period was cut from eight to four years, and a simpler method of calculation is now used to determine rankings.<SUP id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-6">[6]</A></SUP> Goals scored and home or away advantage are no longer taken into account, and other aspects of the calculations, including the importance attributed to different types of match, have been revised. The first set of revised rankings and the calculation methodology were announced on 12 July 2006.</P>
<P>This change is rooted at least in part in widespread criticism of the previous ranking system. Many football enthusiasts felt it was inaccurate, especially when compared to other ranking systems and that it was not sufficiently responsive to changes in the performance of individual teams.</P>

<P>When the system was introduced, <A href="/wiki/Germany_national_football_team" title="Germany national football team">Germany</A> débuted as the top-ranked team following their extended period of dominance in which they had reached the three previous FIFA World Cup finals, winning one of them. <A href="/wiki/Brazil_national_football_team" title="Brazil national football team">Brazil</A> took the lead in the run up to the <A href="/wiki/1994_FIFA_World_Cup" title="1994 FIFA World Cup">1994 FIFA World Cup</A> after winning eight and losing only one of nine qualification matches, while on the way scoring twenty goals and conceding just four. <A href="/wiki/Italy_national_football_team" title="Italy national football team">Italy</A> then led for a short time on the back of their own equally successful World Cup qualifying campaign, after which the top place was re-claimed by Germany.</P>
<P>Brazil's success in their lengthy qualifying campaign returned them to the lead for a brief period. Germany led again during the 1994 World Cup, until Brazil’s victory in that competition gave them a large lead that would stand up for nearly seven years, until they were surpassed by a strong <A href="/wiki/France_national_football_team" title="France national football team">France</A> team that captured both the <A href="/wiki/1998_FIFA_World_Cup" title="1998 FIFA World Cup">1998 FIFA World Cup</A> and the <A href="/wiki/2000_European_Football_Championship" class="mw-redirect" title="2000 European Football Championship">2000 European Football Championship</A>.</P>
<P>Success at the <A href="/wiki/2002_FIFA_World_Cup" title="2002 FIFA World Cup">2002 FIFA World Cup</A> restored Brazil to the top position, where they remained until February 2007, when Italy returned to the top for the first time since 1993 following their <A href="/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup" title="2006 FIFA World Cup">2006 FIFA World Cup</A> win in Germany. Just one month later, <A href="/wiki/Argentina_national_football_team" title="Argentina national football team">Argentina</A> replaced them, reaching the top for the first time, but Italy regained its place in April. After winning the <A href="/wiki/Copa_Am%C3%A9rica_2007" class="mw-redirect" title="Copa América 2007">Copa América 2007</A> in July, Brazil returned to the top, but were replaced by Italy in September and then Argentina in October.</P>
<P>In July 2008, <A href="/wiki/Spain_national_football_team" title="Spain national football team">Spain</A> took over the lead for the first time, having won <A href="/wiki/UEFA_Euro_2008" title="UEFA Euro 2008">UEFA Euro 2008</A>.

<P>In April 2010, Brazil returned to the top of the table. After winning the <A href="/wiki/2010_FIFA_World_Cup" title="2010 FIFA World Cup">2010 World Cup</A>, Spain regained the top position and held it until August 2011, when <A href="/wiki/The_Netherlands_national_football_team" class="mw-redirect" title="The Netherlands national football team">The Netherlands</A> reached the top spot for the first time,<SUP id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-7">[7]</A></SUP> only to relinquish it the following month.</P>
<P>In July 2014, <A href="/wiki/Germany_national_football_team" title="Germany national football team">Germany</A> took over the lead once again, having won the <A href="/wiki/2014_FIFA_World_Cup" title="2014 FIFA World Cup">2014 FIFA World Cup</A>.

<P>Since their introduction in 1992, the FIFA World Rankings have been the subject of much debate, particularly regarding the calculation procedure and the resulting disparity between generally perceived quality and world ranking of some teams. For example, <A href="/wiki/Norway_national_football_team" title="Norway national football team">Norway</A> was ranked second in October 1993 and July–August 1995,<SUP id="cite_ref-BBCreport_12-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-BBCreport-12">[12]</A></SUP> and the <A href="/wiki/United_States_men%27s_national_soccer_team" title="United States men's national soccer team">United States</A> reached fourth in 2006, to the surprise of even their own players.<SUP id="cite_ref-GnM_13-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-GnM-13">[13]</A></SUP> However, criticism regarding the unrealistic ranking continued even after the introduction of the new formula. <A href="/wiki/Israel_national_football_team" title="Israel national football team">Israel's</A> climb to 15th in November 2008 raised a few eyebrows even in the Israeli press,<SUP id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-14">[14]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-15">[15]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-16" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-16">[16]</A></SUP> with the team missing a huge opportunity to break into the top 10 after conceding a last gasp equaliser against Latvia.<SUP id="cite_ref-17" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-17">[17]</A></SUP> Similarly, <A href="/wiki/Belgium_national_football_team" title="Belgium national football team">Belgium</A>'s rank of world number 1 in November 2015 was met with skepticism in the press, given that Belgium had only played in one tournament final stage in the past 13 years.<SUP id="cite_ref-18" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-18">[18]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Prior to July 2006, one of the main criticisms was that the rankings considered the performances of teams over an eight-year period, and that teams' ranking positions did not correlate to their recent performances.<SUP id="cite_ref-BBCreport_12-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-BBCreport-12">[12]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-travour_19-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-travour-19">[19]</A></SUP> This criticism has lessened somewhat with the introduction of a new formula, reflecting results over a four-year period, introduced in July 2006. However, problems remain, particularly that hosts of some major tournaments do not take part in qualifying rounds, and instead participate only in friendlies which offer fewer points.</P>
<P>This has been a factor which has resulted in 2014 World Cup hosts Brazil falling to a record low ranking of 22nd in the world.<SUP id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-20">[20]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-21">[21]</A></SUP> The perceived flaws in the FIFA system have led to the creation of a number of alternative rankings from football statisticians,<SUP id="cite_ref-BBCreport_12-2" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-BBCreport-12">[12]</A></SUP> including the <A href="/wiki/World_Football_Elo_Ratings" title="World Football Elo Ratings">World Football Elo Ratings</A> and the <A href="/wiki/Rec.sport.soccer_Statistics_Foundation" class="mw-redirect" title="Rec.sport.soccer Statistics Foundation">rec.sport.soccer Statistics Foundation</A> rankings.</P>
<P>The current system has been criticised for being open to abuse. National teams can maintain a higher average score by playing fewer friendly matches, particularly against weaker opponents.<SUP id="cite_ref-Switzerland_22-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Switzerland-22">[22]</A></SUP> For example, Switzerland were seeded for the 2014 World Cup draw, largely thanks to only playing three friendly matches in the previous year.<SUP id="cite_ref-Switzerland_22-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Switzerland-22">[22]</A></SUP> Switzerland would have reduced their rating if they had played any more friendlies, as their average score was greater than the maximum possible score from winning a friendly match against the top-ranked nation.<SUP id="cite_ref-Switzerland_22-2" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Switzerland-22">[22]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Romania were one of the surprise seeds for the <A href="/wiki/2018_FIFA_World_Cup_qualification_(UEFA)" title="2018 FIFA World Cup qualification (UEFA)">2018 World Cup preliminary draw</A> after taking advice from a consultant and playing only one friendly in the year before the draw.<SUP id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_23-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-23">[23]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-24">[24]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-25">[25]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Lastly, the use of regional strength multiplier in the ranking determination formula has been accused of further reinforcing and perpetuating the bias for and against certain regions. FIFA's use of regional multiplier has been cited as a primary reason why most teams in AFC and CONCACAF have significantly lower FIFA rankings compared to their Elo rating based rankings.<SUP id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-26">[26]</A></SUP></P>
<H2><SPAN class="mw-headline" id="Current_calculation_method">Current calculation method</SPAN><SPAN class="mw-editsection"><SPAN class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</SPAN><A href="/w/index.php?title=FIFA_World_Rankings&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Current calculation method">edit</A><SPAN class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</SPAN></SPAN></H2>
<P>After the <A href="/wiki/2006_FIFA_World_Cup" title="2006 FIFA World Cup">2006 FIFA World Cup</A>, a revised calculation procedure for the FIFA rankings was introduced, with a significantly simplified procedure. The new rankings were compiled in response to criticism from the media.<SUP id="cite_ref-FIFAcoke_3-2" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-FIFAcoke-3">[3]</A></SUP> Meetings were attended by FIFA staff and external experts and a large amount of research was conducted by this group, resulting in the new ranking system.<SUP id="cite_ref-FIFAcoke_3-3" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-FIFAcoke-3">[3]</A></SUP> The new system was confirmed in <A href="/wiki/Leipzig" title="Leipzig">Leipzig</A> on 7 December 2005 by a committee of FIFA executives. Notable changes include the dropping of the home or away advantage and number of goals from the calculation, and the simplification of many aspects of the system.</P>
<P>The system, like the previous ones, is extremely similar to that of a league, though with changes made to ensure that it is still representative of the teams' performance despite playing differing numbers of matches per annum, and the differing strength of opposition that teams have to face. The factors taken into account are as follows:</P>
<UL>
<LI>Match result</LI>
<LI>Match status</LI>
<LI>Opposition strength</LI>
<LI>Regional strength</LI>
</UL>
<P>Teams' actual scores are a result of the average points gained over each calendar year; matches from the previous four years are considered, with more weight being given to recent ones.</P>

<P>In October 2012, FIFA released a press circular defining what is considered to be an international "A" match.</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE class="templatequote">

<P>In previous years a complicated system of points allocation was used, depending on how strong the opponent was, and how large the loss margin, which allowed weaker losing teams to gain points when playing a much stronger opposition, if they managed to put up a decent match. With the new system, the points allocation is simpler: three points for a win, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss, in line with most league systems around the world.</P>
<P>In the event of a match being decided by a penalty shootout, the winning team receives two points, and the losing team one point.</P>

<P>Different matches have different importance to teams, and FIFA has tried to respect this by using a weighting system, where the most significant matches are in the World Cup finals,<SUP id="cite_ref-31" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-31">[31]</A></SUP> and the lowest weighted are friendly matches. FIFA states that it wishes to recognise that friendlies are still important, since they make up half of the competitive matches counted in the rankings.<SUP id="cite_ref-32" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-32">[32]</A></SUP> FIFA also stated, however, that it did not plan to make any adjustment for teams that qualify directly for major tournaments.<SUP id="cite_ref-FIFAwrFAQ_33-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-FIFAwrFAQ-33">[33]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-34" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-34">[34]</A></SUP></P>

<P>The Best Mover of the Year was awarded to the team who made the best progress up the rankings over the course of the year. In the FIFA rankings, this is not simply the team that has risen the most places, but a calculation is performed in order to account for the fact that it becomes progressively harder to earn more points the higher up the rankings a team is.<SUP id="cite_ref-FIFAcoke_3-4" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-FIFAcoke-3">[3]</A></SUP></P>
<P>The calculation used is the number of points the team has at the end of the year (<I>z</I>) multiplied by the number of points it earned during the year (<I>y</I>). The team with the highest index on this calculation received the award. The table below shows the top three best movers from each year.<SUP id="cite_ref-45" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-45">[45]</A></SUP><SUP id="cite_ref-46" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-46">[46]</A></SUP></P>
<P>The award has not been an official part of the awards since 2006.</P>

<P>An example of the informal on-going "Mover of the Year" award is the recognition made by FIFA to Colombia in 2012 in an official press release.<SUP id="cite_ref-48" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-48">[48]</A></SUP> However, the calculation methodology had changed to the difference in ranking points over the course of the year (rather than the methodology used in the official award from 1993 to 2006). The results for latter years are based on a similar methodology.</P>
