FIFA ranking: July 2024 final preview

FIFA will publish the July ranking next Thursday July 18th.

I have included the forfeited WC-qualifier Congo - Niger. There is yet no decision taken by FIFA regarding the postponed WC-qualifier Cuba - Cayman Islands, so I excluded that one from this preview.

This weekend there are still 3 matches to be played: tonight the third place play-off Canada - Uruguay in the Copa America 2024 and tomorrow the two continental finals, in the Copa Argentina - Colombia and in the EURO 2024 Spain - England.

The points and positions of the involved teams will be adjusted as follows:

Canada - Uruguay
	CAN pts	CAN pos	URU pts	URU pos
CAN win	1514,66	32	1711,28	11
CAN PSO win	1504,66	34	1711,28	11
URU PSO win	1494,66	40	1713,15	11
URU win	1486,53	43	1723,15	10
Argentina - Colombia
	ARG pts	ARG pos	COL pts	COL pos
ARG win	1901,49	1	1727,32	9
ARG PSO win	1891,49	1	1733,28	9
COL PSO win	1887,44	1	1743,28	8
COL win	1887,44	1	1753,28	8
Spain - England
	ESP pts	ESP pos	ENG pts	ENG pos
ESP win	1835,67	3	1812,26	4
ESP PSO win	1825,67	3	1812,39	4
ENG PSO win	1815,81	4	1822,39	3
ENG win	1815,81	4	1832,39	3

Elo predicts a win for Uruguay and Spain and a PSO win for Argentina.

This ranking will be used as seeding ranking for the draw of the OFC qualification for the World Cup 2026, to start in the September 2024 window. The draw date is unknown yet.

No teams will reach new highs or drop to new lows in this ranking.
