2014 FIFA World Cup seeding for CAF (17 December 2010)

Next update: 11 February 2011

Assumptions:

- CAF will again have 5 spots
- CAF will keep the current qualifying system
- FIFA will use the FIFA ranking to seed the teams
- CAF will choose the July 2011 ranking for seeding

The July 2011 FIFA ranking will include matches played between July 2007 and July 2011. We already have 50% of the formula. Things can still change as there are many matches to be played involving African teams: CAN 2012 qualifiers and plenty of friendlies.
This the July 2011 ranking (for CAF only) using matches played up to and including December 16th, 2010 and matches scheduled up to July 2011 (only those on fifa.com).

The "1.0" part is computed this way: points gained / (number of matches played + scheduled).

Benin replace South Africa in the first pot.
Ethiopia replace Chad in the third pot.

Best movers:

5 - Ethiopia
4 - Uganda, Malawi and Tanzania
2 - Zambia and Burundi

Worst movers:

-3 - South Africa and Zimbabwe
-2 - Chad, Libya, Senegal, Mali, Morocco, Guinea-Bissau and Namibia

Most points gained:

80 - Tanzania
49 - Ethiopia
43 - Malawi

Most points lost:

-32 - Zimbabwe
-29 - Cameroon
-23 - South Africa

Rank - Previous rank - Team - Total points

Confederation weightings: An in-depth look

I didn't have time lately to look into this matter, but I'm finally able to post something about this.

In March 2010 I received from FIFA's Media Office the procedure used to determine the confederation weightings. I used that procedure to compute the 2002 - 2006 and 2006 - 2010 weightings. I got the same results as FIFA. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup I tracked the confederations weightings but my results were quite different from the ones released by FIFA in August 2010. That month I wrote to FIFA, but I got no reply. I wrote to them against last week and they told me:

"Thanks for your message concerning the FIFA World Ranking. We will inform the respective department."

It's been a week - plenty of time for some kind of answer from the "respective department".

Today I'll post the detailed calculations and two weeks from now we'll see how the rankings would have looked with the confederation weightings computed using the procedure I received from FIFA. Hopefully, if I have the time, we'll also see how the post-July 2006 rankings would have looked like without the weightings.

There are 5 posts - one for each of the last 5 FIFA World Cup tournaments - detailing the number of interconfederational matches and wins for each of FIFA's 6 confederations.

1994 FIFA World Cup USA
1998 FIFA World Cup France
2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan
2006 FIFA World Cup Germany
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa

2002 - 2006 confederation weightings

Same results as FIFA.

Confed	W94	T94	WPG94	W98	T98	WPG98	W02	T02	WPG02	Av94-02	FVal
AFC	2	7	0.29	1	12	0.08	5	17	0.29	0.22	0.83
CAF	2	10	0.2	3	16	0.19	4	17	0.24	0.21	0.82
CONCACAF	2	8	0.25	2	10	0.2	4	10	0.4	0.28	0.88

UEFA	14	30	0.47	20	39	0.51	18	44	0.41	0.46	1

AFC, CAF and OFC got the minimal 0.85 value.

2006 - 2010 confederation weightings

Same results as FIFA.

Confed	W98	T98	WPG98	W02	T02	WPG02	W06	T06	WPG06	Av98-06	FVal
AFC	1	12	0.08	5	17	0.29	1	12	0.08	0.15	0.73
CAF	3	16	0.19	4	17	0.24	3	16	0.19	0.21	0.79
CONCACAF	2	10	0.2	4	10	0.4	1	13	0.08	0.23	0.81
CONMEBOL	8	21	0.38	10	20	0.5	10	17	0.59	0.49	0.98
OFC	0	0	0	0	0	0	1	4	0.25	0.08	0.63
UEFA	20	39	0.51	18	44	0.41	22	34	0.65	0.52	1

4 confederations got the minimal 0.85 value.

2010 - 2014 confederation weightings

My results differ from the ones published by FIFA.

Confed	W02	T02	WPG02	W06	T06	WPG06	W10	T10	WPG10	Av02-10	FVal
AFC	5	17	0.29	1	12	0.08	4	14	0.29	0.22	0.8
CAF	4	17	0.24	3	16	0.19	4	20	0.2	0.21	0.79
CONCACAF	4	10	0.4	1	13	0.08	2	11	0.18	0.22	0.8
CONMEBOL	10	20	0.5	10	17	0.59	12	24	0.5	0.53	1
OFC	0	0	0	1	4	0.25	0	3	0	0.08	0.63
UEFA	18	44	0.41	22	34	0.65	15	34	0.44	0.50	0.99

I have UEFA with 0.99 (FIFA - 1), CONCACAF with 0.85 (FIFA - 0.88) and CAF with 0.85 (FIFA - 0.86).

CONMEBOL, AFC and OFC lose out, while UEFA, CONCACAF and CAF are advantaged.
