Last update 16 julio, 2016 by Alberto Llopis

What is FIFA ranking? What is it for? How does it work? Who has not ever asked any of these questions? And it is indeed, the FIFA ranking (Coke also called grounds sponsorship) is one of the largest arithmetic lattices Soccer World, in many unintelligible even to the teams themselves.

Born in August 1993, its origin and current objective is to place the 208 FIFA selections in a classification that meets the merits of each national team. For it, It provides a scoring system that collects the total points accumulated by a team in the last four years by adding (ie the results of the last four years are counted):

– The number of points earned in a match;
– The average of points earned in games over the last 12 months; y
– The average of points earned in previous matches to the latest 12 months (annual depreciation).

To calculate the points are awarded for each match four variables continue to provide greater justice in the distribution: the famous formula Points = Match Importance x x x Confederation Team Opponent

So referring to the game or match, teams win 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a defeat. In a penalty shootout, the winner gets 2 points and the loser 1 point.

Regarding the importance of the game, of course there are some who score more than others. The friendly gives a point, World Cup qualifying 2,5, finals of Confederations Cup or a European Championship, Copa America similar 3, and a final phase of World 4.

To measure the strength of opponents, FIFA is based on the following formula: 200 - the position in the classification of the contenders. As exception to this formula, It is always assigned to the team at the head of the classification value 200 and ranked teams ranked 150th and subsequent are assigned a minimum value 50. The position in the table is obtained from the latest FIFA / Coca-Cola World Ranking published.

By last, When calculating matches between teams from different confederations, the mean value of the confederations to which the competing teams belong is used. The strength of a confederation is calculated according to the number of victories obtained in the last three editions of the World Cup. The values ​​are as follows: UEFA / CONMEBOL 1.00 CONCACAF 0.88 y AFC/CAF 0.86 OFC 0.85.
