FIFA Ranking: October 2010 final preview (old)

Included: matches up to and including October 13th, the official match deadline. FIFA might include more matches, but not later than Sunday. I didn't include Italy - Serbia nor did I award a 3 - 0 win for the Italians.

I hope everything is ok - I had to move my database and program to a different computer.

60 - Central African Republic
53 - Niger

Gabon out of the top 5, replaced by Algeria - now 4th. Nigeria drop to 5th.

Panama replace Costa Rica as 4th in CONCACAF.

Nine teams will improve their best ever ranking:

Slovenia (15th - 19th in July 2010)
Montenegro (26th - 40th in September 2010)
Burkina Faso (37th - 39th in September 2010)
Belarus (40th - 55th in September 2010)
Armenia (60th - 78th in April 2008)
Botswana (79th - 82nd in September 2010)

Central African Republic (112th - 153rd in August 1993)
Philippines (152nd - 155th in October 2009)

Italy will return to their worst ever ranking - 16th - first achieved in May 1994. That will change however if FIFA award them the qualifier against Serbia and use it for the October ranking calculation.

Seven teams will have their worst ever ranking:

Romania (50th - 46th in September 2010)
Poland (69th - 66th in September 2010)
Finland (85th - 79th in December 1996)
