The FIFA World Rankings is a ranking of men's football teams selected by FIFA. Currently, the team ranked #1 is Belgium. The rankings were first made in 1993. The first team to receive first place was Germany.
FIFA's list was updated on February 15, 2024; An update is expected again, on April 04.[2]
A points system is used, with points being awarded based on the results of all FIFA-recognized full international matches.
FIFA announced in June 2018 that the ranking system would be updated following the 2018 World Cup. The calculation method to be adopted will be closely modeled after the Elo rating system and rankings of its member associations will be updated on a game-by-game basis. The weighting designated for each confederation for ranking purposes was removed.[3] However, the new method does not account for home or away games and margin of the victory, unlike the Elo rankings.[4] This produced a more altered ranking table, with Germany falling to 15th and 2018 World Cup champions France moving to the top of the ranking.[5][6]
