  6. Because it's a friendly and it doesn't bring many points.

    Why don't you try the Ranking Prognosis tool on FIFA.com?

  14. Thanks Hussein. I knew about Libya and Jordan.

    FIFA will probably remove that game later today.

    ReplyDelete
  15. If Sudan recognize the matches in Pan Arab Games as "A" matches Sudan - Palestine will count as "A" match even if Sudan field a weaker team.

    ReplyDelete

  19. @Edgar,
    I'm from Aruba and for me it is the first time it's worth my time to be looking at the FIFA-ranking, since Aruba won a match earlier this year. Last friday they won a match against Surinam, it was a penalty shoot-out, after the final score was 0 - 0. This match was played as part of a friendly tournament. Will this result have an impact on the FIFA ranking for Aruba?

  20. @Randolf

    Aruba will have 120 points - around 163rd in the ranking, depending on the results and inclusion of Palestine - Sudan.

    ReplyDelete
  21. @Edgar,

    Thank you Edgar. Would this mean that this will be the best ranking vere for Aruba. The FIFA website has Aruba on 160 on december 1992, but the ranking was first published in aug. 1993.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Aruba's best rankings is 164th - achieved in Feb 1994. The Dec 1992 ranking still pops up - that's a bug.

  23. I'll wait till the 21st, before I can say......YESSSSSSSSSS !

    ReplyDelete
  24. hey bro i heard that winning tournaments like saff cup brings extra 8 points...is that so if india or afghan team win will they get a 8 point boost in their ranking???

    ReplyDelete
  25. India will end up at how many points this month after winning 4 matches and drawing one in SAFF CUP?

    ReplyDelete
  26. Can any one tell me "why India isn't taking the participation in AFC Fustal Championship?" I realy want to know the story.

    ReplyDelete
  27. @Randolf

    See the final preview.

    @SAFF and India

    There's no fixed amount of points awarded for winning a competition. I don't know about Futsal.

    India will be 161st. See the link in this comment.
