Latest FIFA rankings: Argentina stay top after recent international matches
The Albiceleste are unbeaten in their World Cup 2026 qualifying group, leading the way with four wins from four games.
After the October internationals, the latest FIFA rankings have been announced. Reigning World Cup champions Argentina remain top of the rankings after their recent victories over Paraguay and Peru.
The Albiceleste are unbeaten in their World Cup 2026 qualifying group, leading the way with four wins from four games. Lionel Scaloni’s side have yet to concede in their group and have scored seven to date.
Their 2-0 win against Peru in Lima saw Lionel Messi grab a brace, as he continues to shine for his country after the success of Qatar 2022.
There are no changes in the top three. Argentina have a healthy lead (8.18 points) over France in second place, with Brazil third.
Brazil had an international window to forget, drawing 1-1 at home to Venezuela and losing 2-0 away to Uruguay. Spain are up two places and sit in eighth place after qualifying for Euro 2024 in Germany.
