About the FIFA World Rankings

The FIFA World Ranking, officially the Coca-Cola FIFA World Ranking, is the global ranking of men's senior national football teams. Since August 2018 the ranking has been calculated using the SUM method, derived from Elo, which factors match importance, opponent strength, confederation weighting, and outcome. Rankings update after every official international window.

Football Mania surfaces the full year-end ranking back to 2014, so you can compare how nations have risen and fallen across World Cup cycles. Each team row links to the national team profile with fixtures, results, head-to-head records, and the current squad. Use the year pills above to browse a specific snapshot.

Top-ranked nations historically include perennial powers Argentina, Brazil, France, Spain, Belgium, England, Germany, the Netherlands, and Portugal — and their domestic leagues dominate UEFA club competitions too.
