What is Ranking of Countries In fifa?

The FIFA World Rankings were introduced in August 1993 to make it possible to publish comparisons of the relative strengths of internationally active teams at regular intervals.\n\nThe rankings obtained are, unsurprisingly, the subject of considerable debate. They are based on performances over an eight year period, which means that teams with consistent good performances are highly ranked, but on the other hand the rankings are fairly slow to respond significantly to changes in form. A number of alternative systems have been devised, such as the World Football Elo Ratings, based on the Elo rating system used in chess. The UFWC (Unofficial Football World Championships) ranks teams on an all-time basis.\n\nInterestingly, FIFA does not use the same formula to determine its rankings for women's football. The women's rankings are based on a procedure which is a simplified version of the Football Elo Ratings\n\nTop 20 ranking as of April 2006\nRank Team Points \n1  Brazil 830 \n2  Czech Republic 779 \n3  Netherlands 774 \n4  United States 760 \n5  Spain 759 \n6  Mexico 758 \n7  France 754 \n8  Portugal\n Argentina 753 \n10  England 744 \n11  Denmark 738 \n12  Nigeria 737 \n13  Turkey 733 \n14  Italy 731 \n15  Cameroon 723 \n16  Sweden 717 \n17  Japan 709 \n18  Egypt 708 \n19  Greece\n Germany 699

This question is tricky as most of those teams have not participated neither had a good position on the FIFA ranking so it Will make you answer the US. But I consider it will be equal comparison if you make the same question comparing top 20 teams in the FIFA ranking.

Qualification goes like this:\n\nThe world is divided into regions:\nAsia\nEurope\nAfrica\nConcacaf (North America, Central Am. and Caribian)\nSouth America\nOceania \n\nThen Fifa divides up the 32 possible spots to the regions based on the strenghtn of the region, number of teams, and various political stuff. Some of these are half slots that require a playoff with another region.\n\n\nThen each of the regional confederation determines how to determine which teams will qualify for the spots they have been alloted. \n\nEach region is different and can vary from one cup to the next.  Here is how it went this time around.\n\nEurope - 8 "Random" pools are created and the winners (and next two best teams) qualify and then the second place teams are randomly paired with a home and home deciding who gets the remaing spot\n\nConcacaf has several stages to create a final group of 6 who play round robin with the first 3 qualifying and the 4th going to a playoff with another region.\n\nS. America just has one large pool where everyone plays everyone home and away with the top 4 qualifying and the fifth going to a playoff.\n\nAfrica has 5 groups with the winners of the groups qualifying.\n\nAsia has 3 stages of groups with the final one having 2 groups.  Top two in each qualifiy with the third playing each other for a chance at a playoff with another region\n\nOceania has only a half spot with the top two teams in the final group stage playing each other for the right to play \na team in another region for the right to go to.

The lowest ranked team is Togo, it's rank number 61 in the world\n(FYI Angola is rank  57, is the second to last in the ranked countries playing at FIFA world cup).\n\nTogo has very slim chances to qualify to the next round, it's oponents are:  France (ranked #8), Korea Republic (ranked #29 )  and  Switzerland  (ranked #35 )\nTogo will have to win against Switzerland and France, or something like this:\n\nNext match a draw between France-Korea and Switzerland-Togo , then the positions will be:\nKorea 4 points\nSwitzerland 2 points\nFrance 2 point\nTogo 1 points\n\nIn the last match of the group , one of these options:\n# Win by Korea and a win by Togo\nKorea 7 points\nTogo 4 points\nSwitzerland 2 points\nFrance 2 point\n\n#Win by Switzerland and a win by Togo with 2 goals difference with France\nSwitzerland 5 points\nTogo 4 points, by goal differencial +1\nKorea 4 points, goal difference 0\nFrance 1 point\n\nThere you have it.

My guess is that some countries are administratively part of a larger unit. \n\nI'll give you the example I'm familiar with: England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales are all individual members of FIFA, however, they are all part of the United Kingdom and that is the body which has UN membership.\n\nI don't know which other countries this would apply to.

The exact amount of nations that are members of FIFA is 192 nations. Which are the ones who compete for the right to participate in the FIFA World Cup Tournament That's held every four years and allows 32 nations as it finalist to compete. Any Nation that is not a member of FIFA can not participate.

The FIFA World Rankings is a ranking system for national teams in football (soccer). The teams of the member nations of FIFA, football's world governing body, are ranked based on their game results with the most successful teams being ranked highest. A point system is used, with points being awarded based on the results of matches played in FIFA-recognized international competitions. Under the existing system, rankings are based on a team's performance over the last eight years, with more recent results being more heavily weighted to help reflect the current competitive state of a team. Teams delivering consistently good performances tend to be more highly ranked, and the system currently in use is somewhat slow to respond to significant changes in a team's performance. A new baseline of calculation, which will only consider results over a shorter four year period, will be introduced in July 2006.
