FIFA Ranking: February 2009 probable ranking (I)

Probable results computed using the Elo Ratings. See the list of results used for this ranking.

African nations (especially Egypt) will receive a major blow as the 2008 and 2006 editions of the African Nations Cup lose value.

Republic of Ireland will be the big climbers in the top 50, while Romania and Switzerland will return to the top 20.

Australia will improve their best ever ranking, climbing to 26th.

Next update around February 5th.
