The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) published its updated Men’s World Rankings on Wednesday (October 7, 2026), revealing notable shifts in the top 10 following the recent international match window.
World Champions Spain retained their 1st place position at the summit of world football with 2011.57 points, followed by Argentina in 2nd (1972.80 points), France in 3rd (1958.86 points), and England in 4th (1925.59 points). The most significant movement in the upper tier saw Portugal climb two positions to 5th place with 1807.69 points, driven by four consecutive victories in their UEFA Nations League campaign. Conversely, five-time world champions Brazil suffered a setback after a 1-1 friendly draw against Australia dropped critical points, demoting Carlo Ancelotti’s side down one spot to 6th place with 1806.51 points. Morocco also dropped one position to 7th place (1805.34 points) following a 1-1 draw with Mali.
