Unless FIFA tweaks the formula somehow, these are the values that will be used for the next 4 years (up to and including the 2018 FIFA World Cup final).

Confederation weightings update (27 June 2014)
At the end of the group stage.
CONMEBOL still on top, while UEFA have done some damage limitation with their latest wins. CONCACAF drop due to their recent defeats.

Confederation weightings update
After last night's matches, these are the new values.
CONMEBOL 1
UEFA 0.98
CONCACAF 0.89
AFC, CAF, OFC 0.85
Since UEFA dropped from the top, will FIFA consider changing the formula yet again?

Confederation weightings: One answer, more questions
You might have noticed (Alex certainly did) the last paragraph in the article FIFA published to announce the August ranking.
For this edition of the world ranking, the confederation weighting for the AFC has been increased from 0.85 to 0.86 backdated to August 2010, after a review of the confederation weighting calculation found that 0.86 is the correct figure. This alteration has led to only minimal changes for a few teams, and would have had no impact whatsoever on the seedings for the Preliminary Draw for Brazil 2014 on 30 July.
Now... how did that happen? Was there a moment of "Hey, let's check the confederations weightings to see if they are 100% correct" Well, no... It's because of me being an annoying geek and because of BBC's John Sinnott.
As you can read in this post:
In March 2010 I received from FIFA's Media Office the procedure used to determine the confederation weightings. I used that procedure to compute the 2002 - 2006 and 2006 - 2010 weightings. I got the same results as FIFA. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup I tracked the confederations weightings but my results were quite different from the ones released by FIFA in August 2010. That month I wrote to FIFA, but I got no reply. I wrote to them against last week (in December 2010) and they told me:
"Thanks for your message concerning the FIFA World Ranking. We will inform the respective department."
And that was the end of it. Well, actually I wrote them again at the end of March 2011. Again, no answer.
I also asked two journalists (will mention them if I get their approval) to write to FIFA about it, but FIFA kept the silence when asked about details regarding the confederation weightings.
Then John came along in July to ask me about Wales and the Faroe Islands. Well, that was an opportunity too good to miss - finally someone that could get an answer from FIFA.
With me running the numbers and with John feeding them to FIFA, we finally discovered the mistake - although FIFA at first said AFC should be at 0.83, but the minimum values is 0.85.
Now it will be slightly easier for AFC teams to climb in the rankings - but I don't expect them to send me a "Thank you" e-mail. Although it would be nice :)
Many thanks to John - without him this wouldn't have been possible.
So now there's an answer (one answer as I wrote in the title) - FIFA have modified the formula after the 2010 FIFA World Cup to also include draws as 0.5 points. Previously only wins were included - 1 point each.
Now to the questions.
1. Why did FIFA change the formula?
Using the formula without draws, I got the same values as FIFA for the 2002 - 2006 and 2006 - 2010 weightings. However, using the formula with draws, I get the following values:
2002 - 2006
CAF: 0.87 instead of 0.85
CONCACAF: 0.92 instead of 0.88
2006 - 2010
CONCACAF: 0.86 instead of 0.85
2. Why are FIFA unwilling to admit the formula was changed?
FIFA claim the formula has never been changed, but as you can see above, it was changed.
3. Why did I have to go through John to get an answer from them? I know I'm just a blogger, but still...
4. As mentioned before FIFA outsource the calculation of the ranking to an external company. It's not the first mistake FIFA and/or the company made. If I'm able to do this better than them (and I'm only a guy with a hobby!) - why not outsource the ranking calculation to me? I'm willing to do it for half the price :)

FIFA Ranking: Why the need for confederation weightings?
The answer is very simple: Africa. With the Africa Cup of Nations scheduled every two years, Africa would have had a team in the top 10 almost every time.
Computing the ranking without the confederations rankings would have seen Cameroon on top in July and August 2003. Between August 1997 and March 2011 there have been 159 FIFA ranking releases. In 152 of them there would have been at least one African team in the top 10.
Teams that would have made it in the top 10:
Team - Highest ranking
Looking strictly at the March 2011 ranking (see at the end of the post), here are the main differences:

Confederation weightings: An in-depth look (II)
As promised in the first part (well, a week later than promised actually, sorry about that), here's how the post-July 2010 rankings would be have been affected if the correct confederation weightings had been used.
UEFA and CONCACAF teams would be ranked lower, while AFC teams would be ranked higher.
August 2010
No changes.
September 2010
Togo would be 4 places higher - 83rd instead of 87th.
Within the top 50: Turkey (22nd), Cameroon (38th) and Montenegro (41st) would all be one place lower. No teams would be ranked higher, since these teams dropped from being tied with Switzerland, Czech Republic and Colombia.
October 2010
Within the top 50: Australia (20th), Japan (29th) and Algeria (32nd) would all be one place higher, with the Republic of Ireland (33rd) being one place lower. Australia would be tied with Slovakia, Japan with Turkey.
November 2010
Within the top 50: Russia (12th) and Colombia (46th) would both be one place higher, with France (22nd), Lithuania (47th) and Guinea (48th) one place lower. Russia moved level with Norway, while Colombia moved up from the tie with Lithuania. France dropped from the tie with Switzerland.
December 2010
Qatar (111th) would be ranked 3 places higher. Cuba (66th) and Grenada (98th) would be ranked 4 places lower. Jamaica (61st) would be 3 places lower.
Within the top 50: Korea Republic (39th) would be one place higher, with France (19th) - one place lower. Korea Republic move level with Gabon, while France drop from a tie with USA.
In January 2011, we'll see how the post-July 2006 rankings would have looked like without the weightings.

Confederation weightings: An in-depth look
I didn't have time lately to look into this matter, but I'm finally able to post something about this.
In March 2010 I received from FIFA's Media Office the procedure used to determine the confederation weightings. I used that procedure to compute the 2002 - 2006 and 2006 - 2010 weightings. I got the same results as FIFA. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup I tracked the confederations weightings but my results were quite different from the ones released by FIFA in August 2010. That month I wrote to FIFA, but I got no reply. I wrote to them against last week and they told me:
"Thanks for your message concerning the FIFA World Ranking. We will inform the respective department."
It's been a week - plenty of time for some kind of answer from the "respective department".
Today I'll post the detailed calculations and two weeks from now we'll see how the rankings would have looked with the confederation weightings computed using the procedure I received from FIFA. Hopefully, if I have the time, we'll also see how the post-July 2006 rankings would have looked like without the weightings.
There are 5 posts - one for each of the last 5 FIFA World Cup tournaments - detailing the number of interconfederational matches and wins for each of FIFA's 6 confederations.
1994 FIFA World Cup USA
1998 FIFA World Cup France
2002 FIFA World Cup Korea/Japan
2006 FIFA World Cup Germany
2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa
2002 - 2006 confederation weightings
Same results as FIFA.
AFC, CAF and OFC got the minimal 0.85 value.
2006 - 2010 confederation weightings
Same results as FIFA.
4 confederations got the minimal 0.85 value.
2010 - 2014 confederation weightings
My results differ from the ones published by FIFA.
I have UEFA with 0.99 (FIFA - 1), CONCACAF with 0.85 (FIFA - 0.88) and CAF with 0.85 (FIFA - 0.86).
CONMEBOL, AFC and OFC lose out, while UEFA, CONCACAF and CAF are advantaged.
In March 2010 I received from FIFA's Media Office the procedure used to determine the confederation weightings. I used that procedure to compute the 2002 - 2006 and 2006 - 2010 weightings. I got the same results as FIFA. During the 2010 FIFA World Cup I tracked the confederations weightings but my results were quite different from the ones released by FIFA in August 2010. That month I wrote to FIFA, but I got no reply. I wrote to them against last week and they told me:
"Thanks for your message concerning the FIFA World Ranking. We will inform the respective department."
It's been a week - plenty of time for some kind of answer from the "respective department".
Today I'll post the detailed calculations and two weeks from now we'll see how the rankings would have looked with the confederation weightings computed using the procedure I received from FIFA. Hopefully, if I have the time, we'll also see how the post-July 2006 rankings would have looked like without the weightings.
There are 5 posts - one for each of the last 5 FIFA World Cup tournaments - detailing the number of interconfederational matches and wins for each of FIFA's 6 confederations.
