Getting FIFA points is a continous process. From Wikipedia "A points system is used, with points being awarded based on the results
of all FIFA-recognised full international matches. Under the existing

years, with more recent results and more significant matches being more
heavily weighted to help reflect the current competitive state of a
team"
