FIVB Senior World Ranking system (until 2020)


The FIVB world ranking system is a calculation technique previously used by Fédération Internationale de Volleyball for ranking men's and women's national teams in football. The ranking system was introduced by FIVB until 31 January 2020 as using for seeding teams participating 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan before an update to an earlier system, and was replaced during the 2020 FIVB Volleyball Nations League with a revised Elo-based system.
The system is still used in FIVB World Junior and Youth Rankings.
