Argentina won their third world title but the system ranked their South American Brazil ahead of them in the December 22nd release. They return to the summit for the first time since 2018.

World Champions Argentina have ascended to the top of the FIFA Rankings for the first time since winning the trophy in Qatar last year.

Argentina won their third world title but the system ranked their South American Brazil ahead of them in the December 22nd release.

They return to the summit for the first time since 2018.

They have, however, reclaimed their top spot as Brazil sunk to third after Qatar silver medalists France.

Brazil’s slump started with a loss to Croatia in Qatar and their recent 2-1 loss to Morocco in Tangier on Sunday, 26th March.

Top ten

Belgium and England close the remaining slots in the top five.

Netherlands, Croatia, Italy, Portugal and Spain close the top ten best countries in a chart that has majorly remained unchanged.
