Fifa (Fédération Internationale de Football Association ) , the governing body of association football, introduced in August 1993 a new method for ranking FIFA`s members called "FIFA WORLD RANKING". In Fifa World Ranking all members are ranked based on their performances in the last four years.

I- Importance of the football game

O - Opponent strength
C=(200-ranking position)/100
S - strength of the confederation
UEFA - 1.00
CONMEBOL - 0.98
CONACAF - 0.85
AFC - 0.85
