The '''World Football Elo Ratings''' is a ranking system for men's national ] teams that is published by the website ]. It is based on the ] but includes modifications to take various football-specific variables into account, like the margin of victory, importance of a match, and home field advantage. Other implementations of the Elo rating system are possible and there is no single nor any official Elo ranking for football teams. The ], not based on the Elo method, but changing soon<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.fifa.com/about-fifa/news/y=2018/m=6/news=2026-fifa-world-cuptm-fifa-council-designates-bids-for-final-voting-by-the-fifa-.html|title=2026 FIFA World Cup™: FIFA Council designates bids for final voting by the FIFA Congress|work=fifa.com|publisher=FIFA|date=10 June 2018|accessdate=2 July 2018}}</ref>, is the official national teams rating system used by the ] and is therefore more prevalent.

The ratings consider all official international matches for which results are available. Ratings tend to converge on a team's true strength relative to its competitors after about 30 matches.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eloratings.net/about |title=The World Football Elo Rating System |publisher=Eloratings.net |date= |accessdate=26 February 2012}}</ref> Ratings for teams with fewer than 30 matches are considered provisional.

The ] uses a modified version of the Elo formula whereas the ] uses a non-Elo formula. A 2009 comparative study of eight methods found that the implementation of the Elo rating system described below had the highest predictive capability for football matches, while the men's FIFA ranking method performed poorly.<ref>J. Lasek, Z. Szlávik and S. Bhulai (2013), , Int. J. Applied Pattern Recognition1: 27-46.</ref>

==Biggest upsets==
This is a list of matches with the biggest point exchange.<ref> at eloratings.net (per June 2018 this page is under reconstruction)</ref> Since the importance of the match, the goal differential and the perceived home team advantage are factored in the exchange, these are not necessarily the most surprising wins as expressed by the difference in Elo rating.{{efn|In those terms, most surprising may have been the 2:1 win of Luxembourg (Elo rating 1036) over Switzerland (ER 1794) in a ] (a 758 point difference). In another ] Liechtenstein (ER 1049) held the 853 points higher rated Portuguese team (ER 1902) to a 2:2 draw.}}<br>

==History==
The Elo system, developed by ]-American mathematician Dr. ], is used by ], the international chess federation, to rate ] players, and by the ], to rate ] players. In 1997 ] adapted the Elo rating system to international ] and posted the results on the Internet. He was also the first maintainer of the World Football Elo Ratings web site, now maintained by Kirill Bulygin.

==Overview==
The Elo system was adapted for football by adding a weighting for the kind of match, an adjustment for the home team advantage, and an adjustment for goal difference in the match result.

The factors taken into consideration when calculating a team's new rating are:
*The team's old rating
*The considered weight of the tournament
*The goal difference of the match
*The result of the match
*The expected result of the match

The different weights of competitions in descending order are:
*] Finals
*] finals and Intercontinental tournaments
*World Cup and Continental championship qualifiers
*All other tournaments
*]es

These ratings take into account all international "A" matches for which results could be found. Ratings tend to converge on a team's true strength relative to its competitors after about 30 matches. Ratings for teams with fewer than 30 matches should be considered provisional.

==Basic calculation principles==
The basic principle behind the Elo ratings is only in its simplest form similar to that of a league; unlike the FIFA rankings, who effectively run their table as a normal league table but with weightings to take into account the other factors, the Elo system has its one formula which takes into account the factors mentioned above. There is no first step as in the FIFA system where a team immediately receives points for the result, there is just one calculation in the Elo system.

The ratings are based on the following formulae:

:'''<math>R_n = R_o + K G (W - W_e)</math>'''

or

:'''<math>P = K G (W - W_e)</math>'''

Where;
{| style="width:50%;"
|-
|width=4%|
|-
|'''<math>R_n</math>'''||= The new team rating<br>
|-
|'''<math>R_o</math>'''||= The old team rating<br>
|-
|'''<math>K</math>'''||= Weight index regarding the tournament of the match<br>
|-
|'''<math>G</math>'''||= A number from the index of goal differences<br>
|-
|'''<math>W</math>'''||= The result of the match<br>
|-
|'''<math>W_e</math>'''||= The expected result<br>
|-
|'''<math>P</math>'''||= Points Change<br>
|}

The number of Points Change is rounded to the nearest integer before updating the team rating.

===Status of match===
The status of the match is incorporated by the use of a weight constant. The constant reflects the importance of a match, which, in turn, is determined entirely by which tournament the match is in; the weight constant for each major tournament is given in the table below:
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;"
|-
!Tournament or Match type!!Index (K)
|-
|World Cup, Olympic Games (1908-1980) ||60
|-
|Continental Championship and Intercontinental Tournaments||50
|-
|World Cup and Continental qualifiers and major tournaments||40
|-
|All other tournaments||30
|-
|Friendly matches||20
|}

===Number of goals===
The number of goals is taken into account by use of a goal difference index.

If the game is a draw or is won by one goal
:<math>G = 1</math>

If the game is won by two goals
:<math>G = \frac{3}{2}</math>

If the game is won by three or more goals
*Where '''N''' is the goal difference
:<math>G = \frac{11+N}{8}</math>

Table of examples:

{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;"
|-
!Goal Difference!!Coefficient of K (G)
|-
|0||1
|-
|<nowiki>+1</nowiki>||1
|-
|<nowiki>+2</nowiki>||1.5
|-
|<nowiki>+3</nowiki>||1.75
|-
|<nowiki>+4</nowiki>||1.875
|-
|<nowiki>+5</nowiki>||2
|-
|<nowiki>+6</nowiki>||2.125
|-
|<nowiki>+7</nowiki>||2.25
|-
|<nowiki>+8</nowiki>||2.375
|-
|<nowiki>+9</nowiki>||2.5
|-
|<nowiki>+10</nowiki>||2.625
|}

===Result of match===

W is the result of the game (1 for a win, 0.5 for a draw, and 0 for a loss). This also holds when a game is won or lost on extra time. If the match is decided on penalties, however, the result of the game is considered a draw (W = 0.5).

===Expected result of match===
W<sub>e</sub> is the expected result (win expectancy with a draw counting as 0.5) from the following formula:

:<math>W_e = \frac{1}{10^{-dr/400} + 1}</math>

where ''dr'' equals the difference in ratings (add 100 points for the home team). So ''dr'' of 0 gives 0.5, of 120 gives 0.666 to the higher-ranked team and 0.334 to the lower, and of 800 gives 0.99 to the higher-ranked team and 0.01 to the lower.

===Examples===
The same examples have been used on the ] for a fair comparison. Some actual examples should help to make the methods of calculation clear. In this instance it is assumed that three teams of different strengths are involved in a small friendly tournament on neutral territory.

Before the tournament the three teams have the following point totals.
{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;"
|-
!Team!!Points
|-
|A||630
|-
|B||500
|-
|C||480
|}
Thus, team A is by some distance the highest ranked of the three:
The following table shows the points allocations based on three possible outcomes of the match between the strongest team A, and the somewhat weaker team B:

====Example 1====
'''Team A versus Team B (Team A stronger than Team B)'''

{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;"
|-
| ||'''Team A'''||'''Team B'''||'''Team A'''||'''Team B'''||'''Team A'''||'''Team B'''
|-
!Score
|colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"|3 : 1||colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"|1 : 3||colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"|2 : 2
|-
!'''<math>K</math>'''
||20||20||20||20||20||20
|-
!'''<math>G</math>'''
||1.5||1.5||1.5||1.5||1||1
|-
!'''<math>W</math>'''
||1||0||0||1||0.5||0.5
|-
!'''<math>W_e</math>'''
||0.679||0.321||0.679||0.321||0.679||0.321
|-
!Total (P)
||+9.63||-9.63||-20.37||+20.37||-3.58||+3.58
|}

====Example 2====
'''Team B versus Team C (both teams approximately the same strength)'''

When the difference in strength between the two teams is less, so also will be the difference in points allocation. The following table illustrates how the points would be divided following the same results as above, but with two roughly equally ranked teams, B and C, being involved:

{| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;"
|-
| ||'''Team B'''||'''Team C'''||'''Team B'''||'''Team C'''||'''Team B'''||'''Team C'''
|-
!Score
|colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"|3–1||colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"|1–3||colspan="2" style="text-align: center;"|2–2
|-
!'''<math>K</math>'''
||20||20||20||20||20||20
|-
!'''<math>G</math>'''
||1.5||1.5||1.5||1.5||1||1
|-
!'''<math>W</math>'''
||1||0||0||1||0.5||0.5
|-
!'''<math>W_e</math>'''
||0.529||0.471||0.529||0.471||0.529||0.471
|-
!Total (P)
||+14.13||-14.13||-15.87||+15.87||-0.58||+0.58
|}

Note that Team B drops more ranking points by losing to Team C, which is approximately the same strength, than by losing to Team A, which is considerably better than Team B.
