About
Football Elo Ratings is a personal project built to make international football team-strength data easier to explore.
This site is built and maintained by one person in their spare time. The goal is simple: take publicly available football data and present it in a way that's genuinely pleasant to browse — with rankings, head-to-head comparisons, fixture projections, and historical trends all in one place.
None of the underlying ratings, results, or team information are my own work. The value I add is the interface: collecting the data, keeping it up to date, and giving you tools to look at it from different angles. If something looks wrong, it's almost certainly worth checking against the original sources below.
All the data on this site comes from third parties and remains theirs. I am hugely grateful to the following sources, without which this project would not exist:
eloratings.net
The source of every Elo rating, match result, and fixture on this site. The entire ranking system, the historical results database, and the point-exchange model are their work. Ratings are re-fetched from eloratings.net nightly. Please visit and support the original site. The explanation of the Elo system on their about page is a great introduction to how it all works.
