Berlin, Germany, June 2026 — FanPool, a football fantasy trading and analytics platform, has launched a live form ranking for national teams preparing for the 2026 World Cup. The ranking is powered by FanPool's Relative Form Indicator, known as RFI, and is designed to help supporters compare current team momentum rather than relying only on reputation, historical results, or traditional rankings.
The new ranking addresses a familiar question in international football: which teams are actually arriving in form when the tournament approaches? FanPool's model continuously measures and compares national teams on a relative basis, offering fans a more current view of performance trends as qualification, friendly matches, squad changes, and competitive results reshape expectations.
For many years, pre-tournament debate has been shaped by pundit opinion, betting markets, and global rankings that may not fully reflect recent momentum. FanPool's RFI adds another layer to that discussion by focusing on live form and making the output publicly available to football fans. The tool is intended to support debate, analysis, and community engagement around World Cup 2026 without presenting itself as a guaranteed prediction engine.
The launch also supports FanPool's broader mission to make football knowledge more interactive. The company is building a fantasy trading ecosystem where fans can create and trade virtual portfolios of football clubs and national teams, compete on portfolio performance, and earn rewards based on their understanding of the game. By combining analytics, community participation, and market-style gameplay, FanPool aims to turn football insight into a more active digital experience.
Ekow Yankah, founder of FanPool, said the live form ranking reflects the company's view that supporters want clearer tools for comparing teams as major tournaments approach. He noted that fans already evaluate form informally every week, and FanPool is providing a more structured way to follow those changes as the World Cup cycle develops.
The FanPool live form ranking is now available through the company's public RFI page. Fans, journalists, and analysts can use it to monitor how national teams move as new matches are played and tournament preparation continues.
