In the Asian rankings, China is ranked 13th, with Japan (16th in the world, 1st in Asia), Iran (19th in the world, 2nd in Asia), South Korea (23rd in the world, 3rd in Asia) and Australia (25th in the world, 4th in Asia) in front of them.
The FIFA soccer rankings are based on several things:
Match results:
The basic score for a win, draw or loss. In a match, a team receives 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw and 0 points for a loss. If a match is decided by penalty kicks, the winning team receives 2 points and the loser receives 1 point.
Winning or losing a match has a large impact on the rankings, with more points being gained by beating a higher ranked team and more points being lost by losing to a lower ranked team. This encourages teams to compete aggressively against stronger teams to improve their rankings.
Importance of tournaments: different types of tournaments have different weights.
World Cup matches carry the highest weight because they are the most influential and authoritative international tournaments in soccer; final round matches of continental FIFA cup competitions (e.g., UEFA Europa League, CONCACAF Cup, Asian Cup, etc.) also carry a high weight; followed by qualifying matches of continental FIFA cup competitions and World Cup qualifiers; friendlies played during international match days carry a relatively low weight; and friendlies played on non-FIFA match days carry the lowest weight.
Strength of opponents: The ranking of the opponents and the power level of the football federation to which they belong affects the calculation of points.
A victory over a higher-ranked team from a stronger federation earns more points; conversely, a victory over a lower-ranked team from a weaker federation earns fewer points. The formula for calculating the rivalry factor is usually:
The opponent's ranking, if the opponent's ranking is lower than 150, will be used directly as a factor of 0.5.
Duration of matches: The rankings are calculated using match results over a period of time, currently mainly a 4-year cycle. This ensures that the rankings reflect recent performances and changes in the strengths of the teams, and also avoids overly stale results having too great an impact on the rankings. Newer results are given more weight in the points calculation, and older results are given less weight over time.
The above factors are combined to arrive at the points of each team through a specific formula, and then the teams are ranked according to the level of points. It should be noted that although the FIFA soccer rankings can reflect the strength level and recent performance of each team to a certain extent, they also have certain limitations and cannot completely and accurately measure the real strength of a team.
