Spain leads FIFA rankings as Portugal climbs to fifth

FIFA World Rankings international football UEFA Nations League CONMEBOL national team standings

The latest FIFA World Rankings show Spain maintaining its position as the top-ranked football team globally. Following a series of victories in the UEFA Nations League, Spain has extended its lead over Argentina, which remains in second place. France holds the third position, followed by England in fourth.

Portugal has seen a significant rise, climbing two spots to fifth place. This ascent occurred despite internal tensions involving Cristiano Ronaldo and head coach Jorge Jesus. Portugal’s improvement comes after a perfect run in the Nations League, surpassing both Brazil and Morocco, who dropped to sixth and seventh respectively.

In South America, Argentina remains the highest-ranked team in CONMEBOL. Conversely, Bolivia has fallen to 78th place, continuing its decline following losses to Paraguay and Argentina. Other notable shifts include Switzerland rising to 12th place and several African nations, such as Mali and South Africa, making gains within the top 50.
