The FIFA World Rankings is a system used to rank national football teams based on their performance in international matches. Teams earn points based on the results of their games, the importance of the match, and the strength of their opponents. This ranking helps determine seedings for tournaments and gives an overview of a team's standing in the global football community. Updated regularly, the rankings reflect a team's performance over a specific period, usually the last four years. The FIFA organization releases these rankings, which are widely followed by fans, players, and coaches to gauge the competitiveness of national teams.
