Ranking Points
Men's World Cup & World Championships
Both tournaments shall receive ranking points in-line with the IFCPF Ranking Points procedure as world level competitions.
- As the first year where our world level competition is split across two tournaments, the rankings shall be combined to reflect more than 24 team competing at the highest level.
- The IFCPF Board have decided that with 15 teams competing in the 2022 IFCPF World Cup, the top two (2) teams (1st and 2nd) of the 2022 IFCPF World Championships will receive the same rankings points as places 14th and 15th of the World Cup.

Ranking Points
The logic of the IFCPF Ranking Points Procedure is that any country that participates in CP football wins points which enable it to climb the World and Regional Rankings Lists.
The Rankings Lists are maintained for the following reasons:
- Realistic comparison of teams
- To support seeding for tournament draws
- Highlight worldwide, regional and national participation
- Promotion of CP Football
A team’s total number of points, from tournaments held within the current quadrennial (four years), are determined by adding the highest number of points gained from an eligible tournament/level of development in each year.
