They started making these rankings in 2003,[2] and the first ones came out on 16 July that year.[3][4] FIFA tries to figure out how strong the different women's teams are based on their past games. The teams that have done really well get higher ranks. Right now, there are 185 national teams in the ranking as of January 2023.
The ranking is not just for information. It's used to decide how to group teams in big international tournaments.
