FIFA has delayed the release of new rankings, which will take place on August 16 instead of July 19.

This will give the opportunity to smoothly sum up the results of World Cup, FIFA press services informed.

 

“The rankings will be released in August so that all international matches are included following FIFA’s new formula.”

 

The latest rakings were published on June 7. FIFA will count the points of the next rankings in accordance with the new method. This method will help host countries of World Cup and Europa League lose their positions in a slower manner and gain more points by beating stronger teams even in friendly matches.
