These data files update the World Rankings for Men’s National Teams. You can only use one file per save, depending on which ranking system you prefer:
Type 1: FIFA Coca Cola Men’s World Rankings: (18th September 2025 - Latest Version)
- Based on FIFA’s official rankings, updated after each international break.
- Covers all 211 FIFA member nations.
- Eritrea have 0 points due to inactivity (no matches in 4+ years, per FIFA rules).
- Minor discrepancies may exist due to the Pre-Game Editor not supporting decimal entries.
- Source: FIFA Official Rankings
Type 2: Men’s National Team – ELO Ratings: (27th September 2025 - Latest Version)
- Uses the ELO rating system, which includes both FIFA and non-FIFA nations and matches.
- Every active nation in-game has a rating, ensuring full global coverage. Exceptions: No ratings for United Kingdom (Olympic Team), Basque Country, Crimea, or any extinct nations (e.g. Yugoslavia, Zaire, West Germany, Soviet Union).
To install, place the file in your Football Manager editor data folder:
C://Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2024/editor data
This is the default location unless you have moved the folder. If you don't have this folder you will need to create it.
⚠️ Compatibility Notice:
This file is not compatible with any other file that alters the World Rankings.

I'll update these for FM26 after the next window. I'll include the women's as a separate file too

@xbenjaminx Will you update this file to the latest as well? Love your work!

@wfm18 Yes I'll get on it especially as the latest international break is finished. Expect it over the weekend. I am compiling databases at the moment. Also have a restoration project and some tools in the works that tie into that
