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.
