The title was won by Georgia on 15 November 2006, who retained it in friendlies to bring the title back to Europe and the qualifying tournament for the 2008 European Championship. They lost the title to the highest ranked team in the UWFC of all time, Scotland, on March 24, 2007, nearly forty years since Scotland had previously gained the title in the game against England at Wembley that had inspired the competition.
[edit] Rankings table
Because of the unofficial nature of the title, there is no
authoritative criteria for ranking the historical holders of the title.
The UFWC website sorts teams by how many championship deciding matches
they have won: others have used cumulative length of time holding the
title, a points system for matches won, drawn and lost, or other
methods.
This table ranks the teams according to the number of matches that
they have started as title holders, and in the event of a tie, uses
cumulative days as title holder and then length of time since the title
was last held as second and third criteria.
