A simple program in Python that runs simulations of the FIFA World Cup.

Instructions

  • The program reads .csv file that contains 2 colums: team name and rating
  • The rating are provided by FIFA (https://www.fifa.com/fifa-world-ranking/men?dateId=id13792)
  • This information is used to calculate which team has more chance to win a match in a tournament simulation
  • To run: python tournament.py [filename]
  • You can find two .csv examples with 2018 data, so you can run to obtain a result as shown below:
$ python tournament.py 2018m.csv
Belgium: 20.9% chance of winning
Brazil: 20.3% chance of winning
Portugal: 14.5% chance of winning
Spain: 13.6% chance of winning
Switzerland: 10.5% chance of winning
Argentina: 6.5% chance of winning
England: 3.7% chance of winning
France: 3.3% chance of winning
Denmark: 2.2% chance of winning
Croatia: 2.0% chance of winning
Colombia: 1.8% chance of winning
Sweden: 0.5% chance of winning
Uruguay: 0.1% chance of winning
Mexico: 0.1% chance of winning

PS: The numbers above can be slightly different, since there is a randomness component in each match result
