FIFA ranking: November 2021 probable ranking

The FIFA November international match window starts November 8th. All confederations except OFC are still in full swing qualifying mode for the World Cup next year in Qatar. It's even crunch time for teams from Europe and Africa as they play their last two match days in the groups. 

In Europe the 10 group winners will qualify for Qatar while the 10 runners-up qualify for the play-offs in March 2022. The draw for these play-offs is November 26th.

In Africa the 10 group winners qualify for the third and final qualifying round: 5 home-and-away play-offs to be played in March 2022. The draw date for these play-offs is unknown yet, as is the seeding FIFA-ranking to be used in the draw.

Asia plays MDs 5-6 of 10 in the two final groups. North and Central America plays MDs 7-8 of 14 in the octagonal. South America plays MDs 13-14 of 18 in their group.


In Asia it was announced that the final qualification round of the Asian Cup of Nations 2023 will be played as single round-robin groups with only 3 match days in June next year in centralized venues because of ongoing COVID-19 restrictions. The draw of the groups was therefore postponed.


Here is the probable November 2021 ranking, to be published on November 25th.


This preview is calculated with elo-predicted results for all 134 currently scheduled and according to my method included matches, out of a total of 144 currently scheduled matches. See the probable results for a list of which scheduled matches are included.
