England up one place following victory over leaders Spain
Netherlands into top 10 at Korea DPR’s expense
American Samoa buoyant despite FIFA Women’s World Cup™ qualifying heartache
Some 276 relevant international fixtures have been contested since the previous instalment of the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking was published last December. During this period, FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027™ qualifying action has taken centre stage, with CAF the only confederation not to have hosted a fixture as part of the preliminary competition.
Despite last Tuesday’s away defeat to England on the road to next year’s global showpiece in Brazil, Spain (1st, unchanged) maintain the pole position that they claimed in last August’s edition. On the back of that triumph, the Lionesses (3rd, up 1) climb up one place, leapfrogging Germany (4th, down 1) in the process.
