Notes

The UEFA rankings (known as the coefficient) were calculated in November every other year at the end of each major qualifying competition and were based solely on the average points won during the qualifying matches over the last two major competitions (European Championship and World Cup).

The FIFA rankings are the last published for each year (December). Underlined rankings are the highest (in green) or lowest (in red) for that country at the end of a year.

Key: DNQ = Did Not Qualify, QF = Quarter-finals, rnd = Round, RU = Runners-up, SF = Semi-finals.
