FIFA ranking: June 2024 probable ranking

Here is the probable June 2024 ranking, to be published on Thursday June 20th. In the upcoming June window matches will be played for:

- match days 5 and 6 (to a finish) in the groups for AFC World Cup 2026 qualification stage 2;

- match days 1 and 2 in the groups for CONCACAF World Cup 2026 qualification stage 2;

- match days 3 and 4 in the groups for CAF World Cup 2026 qualification stage 1;

- lots of preparatory friendlies for the continental finals starting mid June: EURO, Copa America and OFC Nations Cup.


There are a few uncertainties around this ranking.


For instance the news was recently published that Equatorial Guinea has fielded the ineligible player Emilio Nsue Lopez in their first two WC-qualifiers in November last year. Both matches -against Namibia at home on the 15th (1:0 win) and against Liberia away on the 20th (0:1 win)- are awarded 3:0 wins to the opponent. Equatorial Guinea can still appeal this decision. I haven't applied any corrections yet for these two awarded matches in this probable ranking.

By the way, 'fun fact' is that this is not the first time Equatorial Guinea has been punished for such an offence. It seems they haven't learned anything from their qualification campaign for the World Cup 2014 where they fielded exactly the same ineligible player (!) in two group matches against Cape Verde Islands and were punished also with two 0:3 losses.


Another uncertainty concerns the correct deadline to be used for this June ranking. Normally the deadline to incorporate played matches in the ranking calculation is the Sunday before the Thursday the ranking is published. In this case that would be Sunday June 16th. But as this date falls in the midst of the first group stage match day of the EURO 2024 (which starts on Friday the 14th) I expect the deadline to be moved backwards to Tuesday June 11th, the final day of the June window.


And then we have a third uncertainty: this June window (3 - 11 June) is officially designated to be 'for all confederations except UEFA' in the FIFA Men's International Match Calender. I assume that any friendly played in this window with UEFA-teams participating in it, is normally calculated though and thus using an I-factor of 10.


This preview is calculated with elo-predicted results for all 192 currently played and scheduled and according to my method included matches, out of a total of 197 currently played and scheduled matches. See the probable results for a list of which scheduled matches are currently included.
