According to the CCTV 5 program list, FIFA recently released the formula for calculating the ranking of the European Cup World Ranking, in which the importance of the game and the strength of the opponent are two key factors affecting the ranking. According to the formula, the competition importance coefficient of the European Cup is 50, while the competition importance coefficient of the World Cup is 60, which means that the influence of the European Cup matches on the world ranking is less than that of the World Cup matches.
In addition, the strength of the opponent is also an important consideration. The formula uses the world ranking of the opponent to measure the strength of the opponent. The higher the ranking is, the stronger the strength is. The lower the ranking is, the weaker the strength is. The formula also sets a minimum value of the opponent's strength, namely 150, which means that the opponents ranking below 150 are regarded as equal strength and will not have too much impact on the ranking.
According to this formula, we can see that in the group match of the European Cup, the confrontation between some strong teams will have a greater impact on the world ranking, while the confrontation between some weak teams will have a smaller impact on the world ranking. For example, the match between France and Germany ranked the second and fourth in the world respectively. The importance of the match and the strength of the opponents were very high, so it had a great impact on the world ranking. The world rankings of Finland and Russia were 54th and 38th respectively. The importance of the match and the strength of the opponents were low, so the impact on the world rankings was small.
In order to more intuitively display the calculation formula of the World Ranking of the European Cup, we have made the following table, which lists the world rankings of each team of the six teams of the European Cup and the impact value of each game on the world ranking. The higher the impact value, the greater the impact on the world ranking, and the lower the impact value, the smaller the impact on the world ranking.

It can be seen from the table that the game with the highest impact value in the group match of the European Cup is * * Turkey vs. Switzerland * *, reaching * * 2.00 * *, which is because the world rankings of both sides are relatively small, and neither is very high, so this game will greatly help both sides to improve their world rankings. The game with the lowest impact value is * * Belgium vs. Finland * *, with only * * 0.48 * *. This is because the world rankings of both sides are very different, and Belgium is already the first in the world, so this game has little impact on the world rankings of both sides.
The calculation formula of the European Cup world ranking not only reflects the importance of the game and the strength of the opponents, but also reflects the importance FIFA attaches to the European Cup and its support for the development of European football. The European Cup will be held from June 11 to July 11, 2024. At that time, we will see how the European Cup matches affect the changes in the world rankings, and which teams can show their strength and style on the stage of the European Cup.
