During this period, teams need to take effective measures to maintain their position in the FIFA rankings. Since there are fewer international matches after the European Cup, teams usually arrange friendly matches or participate in other informal events to maintain competitive status.
In addition, the team's training camp and tactics are also the focus of this period. The following are the friendly matches arranged by some teams after the European Cup and their changes in FIFA rankings:

In these friendly matches, the team not only has the opportunity to test new tactics and young players, but also can improve the international image and ranking of the team through the confrontation with high-level opponents. Although the results of the friendly matches will not directly affect the official ranking, these games provide valuable practical experience and help the team play better in official matches. In addition, the team's management and coaching team will also use this time to make strategic planning for the next official match.
In general, the blank period after the European Cup is the key period for the adjustment and promotion of the team, which is crucial for maintaining or improving the ranking of FIFA.
