The Unofficial Football World Championships (UFWC) is an informal way of calculating the world's best international association football team, using a knock-out title system similar to that used in professional boxing.[1] The UFWC was formalized by contributors to the Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation (RSSSF) in 2002[2] and published by English journalist Paul Brown in a 2003 FourFourTwo article.[3] Brown created a web page for the UFWC, and both this and the RSSSF tracked the progression of the championship.
The title is currently held by Ivory Coast who won it from Uruguay on 26 March 2024.
