📈 Fifa national team rankings have a NEW leader

The latest FIFA international window brought changes to the top of the world football hierarchy.

With FIFA’s new real-time points update system, France took over as the outright leader of the rankings.

The French capitalized on their wins over Brazil and Colombia, combined with Spain’s slip-up, as they drew with Egypt and lost the top spot.

Brazil, managed by Carlo Ancelotti, finished the friendly window in sixth place despite beating Croatia, after being overtaken by Portugal.

The result represents a drop of one position compared to November 2025.

However, the situation could have been worse: after the loss to France last week, Brazil briefly dropped to seventh place.

A crucial 3-1 win over Croatia, combined with the Netherlands’ draw against Ecuador, secured their return to sixth place.
