Fame Football

National team rankings

The 48 strongest men’s and women’s sides, every one of them yours to play.

These are Fame Football’s own ratings, not FIFA’s: an Elo worked out from international results, where a win against a strong side counts for more than one against a weak side, and a big win or a tournament match for more than a narrow one or a friendly. The stars are the same ratings, as the game shows them. Updated 29 September 2026.
