FIFA ranking: April 2024 probable ranking

Here is the probable April 2024 ranking, to be published on Thursday April 4th. A very diverse offering of matches in the upcoming March window:

- match days 3 and 4 in the groups for AFC World Cup 2026 qualification;

- CONCACAF World Cup 2026 qualification starts with the stage 1 home-and-away play-offs between the 4 lowest ranked CONCACAF teams;

- the three qualification play-off paths for the EURO 2024 with two one-off semi finals and a final in each path;

- the two one-off qualification play-offs for the Copa America 2024, played in the USA;

- a three-team qualifier group for the OFC Nations Cup 2024, played in Tonga;

- qualification for the AFCON 2025 starts with preliminary play-offs between the eight lowest ranked African teams;

- the Final Four in the CONCACAF Nations League 2024, played in the USA;

- the two-legged play-off between Lithuania and Gibraltar, deciding which team remains in league C and which team relegates to league D of the UEFA Nations League 2024/25;

- lots of friendlies, both singularly scheduled and in tournament form, with the prototype of the new FIFA Series staged in 4 countries.


This preview is calculated with elo-predicted results for all 161 currently played and scheduled and according to my method included matches, out of a total of 172 currently played and scheduled matches. See the probable results for a list of which scheduled matches are currently included.

  1. The coefficient for 2023–24 UEFA Women's Nations League A (group and final four) is 45 (Olympic qualifier).

    Neutral ground or Home vs. Away (two-leg fixtures)
    some examples
    CAF/AFC Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament
    First Leg – North Korea v Japan (played in Saudi Arabia - Neutral ground) No home team(North Korea) for the purposes of calculation.

  2. IFAB - Laws of the Game
    Number of substitutions

    Official competitions
    The number of substitutes, up to a maximum of five, which may be used in any match played in an official competition will be determined by FIFA, the confederation or the national football association.

    exception
    Extra time
    The competition rules must state:
    whether one additional substitute may be used when a match goes into extra time (whether or not the team has already used the full number of permitted substitutes)

    concussion substitutions
    ----------------------------------



    Other matches
    In senior ‘A’ international team matches, a maximum of fifteen substitutes may be named of which a maximum of six may be used.
    In all other matches, a greater number of substitutes may be used provided that:
    .the teams reach agreement on a maximum number
    .the referee is informed before the match
    If the referee is not informed, or if no agreement is reached before the match, each team is allowed a maximum of six substitutes.

    The FIFA Series should be considered as friendly (non-official competition) (Since teams made six substitutions)

  4. Hello Ad,

    Is there a way to calculate Hungary's élő gain in case of:
    -win against Ireland friendly
    -win against Israel friendly
    -win against Switzerland EURO group match
    -loss against Germany EURO group match
    -win against Scotland EURO group match
    -loss against let's say Italy EURO knockout match

    What I'm trying to calculate is whether Hungary will be closer to the desired 12th UEFA spot currently occupied by Ukraine - and if so, by how much.

    Appreciate all your work as always.

    ReplyDelete
  5. Hey Stevie, with your proposed results (and all other currently scheduled matches and EURO 2024 knock-out stage as elo predicts them at the moment, Hungary loses according to elo in the EURO round of 16 against Croatia) the European teams around UEFA spot 12 after the EURO 2024 tournament will be ranked as follows:
    ...
    10 Denmark 1607 pts
    11 Ukraine 1582 pts
    12 Switzerland 1578 pts
    13 Hungary 1560 pts
    14 Austria 1555 pts
    ...
    A draw against Germany (and the rest unchanged) will leave Hungary at 1577 pts, just short of the coveted 12th UEFA spot. A win against Germany will get you to 1594 pts and 11th UEFA-spot.
    But the Dutch experienced only yesterday that Germany is getting better and better again...

    Btw, my name is Ed :)
