FIFA ranking: September 2023 probable ranking

Here is the probable September 2023 ranking, to be published on Thursday September 21st. In the upcoming September window matches for the following tournaments will be played:

- the final match day in African Nations Cup 2023 qualification. Of the 24 berths for the final tournament in January next year in Cote d'Ivoire 16 are already decided, still 8 to go;

- the CONCACAF Nations League 2024 group stage starts with match days 1 and 2;

- match days 5 and 6 of qualification for EURO 2024;

- qualification for the World Cup 2026 starts, this time in South America with match days 1 and 2 in the group;

- lots of friendlies, featuring f.i. most Asian teams and the top 4 CONCACAF teams that got a bye to the league A quarter finals in November.


Eritrea played their last official matches in September 2019. They will be removed from the FIFA ranking now, probably until November when the first group stage matches for the African groups in World Cup qualification are scheduled, in which Eritrea is said to be participating.


This preview is calculated with elo-predicted results for all 159 currently played and scheduled and according to my method included matches, out of a total of 180 currently played and scheduled matches. See the probable results for a list of which scheduled matches are currently included.

    1. The FIFA rankings are a pseudo-elo rating system. So you aren't accumulating points or anything like that. Each time you play a match your rating changes based on your team's strength, the strength of your opponent, and the outcome. Without any official games (they are playing friendlies) their rating is just moving very little (as the I-number for friendlies is quite low, meaning your rating won't move much), meaning they would stay in place on the rankings. Some teams may move above them, but others may fall below them as well.

      Delete
  2. But, if it is not an accumulating points ranking then the old points (over 5 year old) should be substracted from their runking?

  3. In the elo ratings system teams can only win or lose points by playing matches. Once a match is played the points to be exchanged is calculated and the new rating of each team in the match is immediately determined adding or subtracting the exchanged points from their points tally before the match.

    You can look at it this way: the current elo rating of a team is build up over all matches the team has ever played. At least, in the elo ranking that's the case because that system includes all NT-matches since 1870.
    As the FIFA ranking is only calculated using an elo-based method since 2018, the current FIFA ratings are still influenced by the old, pre-2018, ratings because those old ratings were used as starting point for each team with the introduction of the new elo-based calculation in June 2018.
