The new classification of the International Federation of Association Football (FIFA), which was issued yesterday, witnessed world champion Argentina strengthening its lead in the international classification, and the ranking of the first five teams did not change following the international period. Argentina, which removed Brazil from the top last April, retained first place following defeating Ecuador and Bolivia in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers earlier this month. France held on to second place, ahead of Brazil (third), England (fourth) and Belgium (fifth).

Portugal was the only one to advance a position in the top ten list, becoming eighth, while Italy fell to ninth. Croatia ranks sixth, followed by the Netherlands, while Spain completes the top ten list. Morocco (13), Colombia (16), Denmark (18) and Japan (19) are ahead in the ranking.

The Japanese national team topped the Asian rankings, followed by Iran, then South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, and then the UAE national team eighth.
