A total of 119 relevant matches have been contested since the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking was last published. FIFA Women’s World Cup Brazil 2027™ qualifiers in Europe and South America, as well as the CAF preliminary competition for the Women’s Olympic Football Tournament Los Angeles 2028, have prompted a shake-up in the standings.

Following convincing victories over England and Iceland that secured their spot at FIFA’s flagship women’s event next year, table-topping Spain (1^st, unchanged) have set a new benchmark for themselves. Germany (3^rd, up 1) join them and the USA (2^nd, unchanged) on the podium, having established a slender two-point lead over England (4^th, down 1). France (6^th, up 1) and Brazil (7^th, down 1) have also traded places. The rest of the top ten remains intact, although DPR Korea (11^th, unchanged) are continuing to close in, sitting just over a point shy of tenth position.

Other notable developments include the Republic of Ireland’s best-ever showing (21^st, up 2) and Türkiye’s top-50 debut (46^th, up 5). Moldova (119^th, up 14) were also standout performers, having gained almost 40 points and surged 14 places up the standings, making them the biggest climbers in this latest edition.

Meanwhile, Haiti (47^th, up 2), Cambodia (113^th, up 4) and Saudi Arabia (157^th, up 3) have all entered uncharted territory in the global pecking order. However, there is less positive news for Bahrain (116^th, down 8) and Georgia (132^nd, down 7).

Despite conceding no fewer than 30 unanswered goals in their double-header against Comoros (187^th, up 2) in the CAF qualifying competition for the Olympics, newcomers Sudan (194^th) can now claim the bragging rights over their neighbours South Sudan (195^th, up 1). As was the case in last December’s edition, the field once again features a record-equalling 198 FIFA Member Associations.

The next edition of the FIFA Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking will be published on October 20, 2026.
