FIFA admit mistake, update ranking

I wrote last week about the problems I found in the September edition of the FIFA rankings.

I also e-mailed FIFA about it and even tweeted to @fifamedia about it.

They've replied on Monday:


Thank you for your email and notification of a possible error in the World Ranking. We have reviewed the calculation and confirmed that there was a mistake. We will therefore issue a new ranking this week on fifa.com including the matches played on 19th and 20th  August and also the two forfeit wins of Tadjikistan against Syria. Apologies for any inconvenience.

Kind regards

Our ranking is unacceptable, we'll appeal to FIFA!

I read this hilarious article (for me at least) today in the Nigerian Tribune.


PRESIDENT, Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Aminu Maigari, says the body will appeal the downward slide of the Super Eagles of Nigeria in FIFA's monthly ranking of national teams in the world.

Nigeria is currently ranked 43rd in the world and sixth in Africa but Maigari believes the rating is not a true reflection of the performance of the country's senior national team taking into cognisance its victories in international matches of recent.

''When we defeated Argentina 4-1 in Abuja, we were rated below them and when we lost to Argentina, we were also below them, that inconsistency in ranking us calls  for explanation and that is why we need clarifications from FIFA''.

''It is simply unacceptable and a clarification will be demanded.

Maigari also feels the  Super Eagles impressive runs in the qualifiers for the 2012 Africa Nations Cup should have counted in favour of the Eagles.

''We won 2-0 at Antananarivo yet in the next ranking  by FIFA we went five steps backwards, it is confusing.Does that mean our victories are not accounted for? We will have to appeal to FIFA for clarification on this'' he added.


I wonder what will FIFA reply to Mr. Maigari...
