Who said them that these matches will not be considered for ranking calculation? If these matches follow fifa regulation regarding refrees and number of substitution, these matches will be considered for ranking calculation.
The first match is around a week away and it is not even included on the FIFA website... technically I can remove the matches from the fixtures and results section on wikipedia since caps and goals don't count at all.
@ArsenalFan700 Aiff confirmed the matches couple of days back. It takes time to appear in Fifa website. Some times matches will appear in Fifa match center after the match is played and some time they add it while calculating ranking point.
Ya, and also I want an example of a time FIFA added the matches after FIFA ranking calculation or added them late. The FIFA website usually has friendly matches before the AIFF officially announces them from my experience.

check this one.
Now I can enjoy the matches!:)
Here is hoping, even if it is in the distant future, that we can get football stadiums that the teams own or operate.
