Due to current events, the publication of next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking has been postponed from Wednesday 21 November to Friday 23 November at 10.00 CET. Since the ranking will be used by various confederations as a yardstick for the Preliminary Draw for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™ in Durban on 25 November, all matches played up to and including 21 November will be taken into account.

More attention has been focused on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking than ever before since its re-launch during the 2006 FIFA World Cup Germany™. The enclosed data sheet provides a detailed breakdown of the points totals of the top 20 teams in October 2007.
