IFF World Rankings

The IFF World Ranking is a ranking system for men's national teams in association football. Teams of the member nations of the International Football Federation, football's world governing body, are ranked based on their game results with the most successful teams being ranked highest. A points system is used, with points being awarded based on the results of all IFF-recognised full international matches.

History
The ranking system has been revamped on several occasions, generally responding to criticism that the preceding calculation method did not effectively reflect the relative strengths of the national teams.
