Socceroos maintain FIFA World Rankings

At the top of the FIFA monthly rankings, World Cup winner Spain maintains its position, while the Socceroos continue to reside just outside the top-20.

The Asian Cup champions, Japan, have moved up two places to No.15, while the Socceroos’ second-place finish in Qatar keeps them at No.21 before their friendly match against Germany on March 29.

Spain leads an unchanged top three, which consists entirely of European teams: the Netherlands and Germany follow closely. Argentina surpasses Brazil, now standing as the top team in South America.

Argentina earned this position after defeating Portugal 2-1 in a friendly, while Brazil faced a 1-0 defeat against France.

Croatia has ascended one position to No.8, swapping places with Portugal. Completing the top 10, Greece narrowly edges out the 2006 World Cup winner, Italy.

Ghana holds the highest place among African nations at No.16.

The US has dropped one position to No.19 but retains its lead among CONCACAF region teams.
