Spain continues to lead FIFA/Cola-Cola Women’s World Ranking. France move into second, while North Macedonia make strong progress.
Nearly three months have gone by since the FIFA/Cola-Cola Women’s World Ranking was last published and no fewer than 154 international football matches have been played during that timeframe.
Qualifying fixtures for the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament Paris 2024 were held in Africa, while UEFA Women’s EURO 2025 qualifiers took top billing in Europe.
These intense encounters, in addition to a large number of friendly fixtures, resulted in several changes to the standings, including an adjustment to the top three.
Spain (1st) consolidated top spot but La Roja have new challengers breathing down their necks, namely France (2nd, up 1). Les Bleues overtake England (3rd, down 1), and in doing so now sit in a lofty spot they have never occupied before. Germany (4th, up 1), meanwhile, move past the United States (5th, down 1), who continue to slide in a downward direction.
Further down, Sweden (6th) and Japan (7th) maintain their positions. Canada (8th, up 1), Brazil (9th, up 1) and Korea DPR (10th, up 1) all gain a spot, thereby easing the Netherlands (11th, down 3) out of the top ten for the first time in seven years.
Australia (12th) remain in 12th place, gaining +1.06 points after a draw and a 2-0 win over China PR on home soil.
