Brazil overtaken by Portugal, drops a spot in Fifa rankings: see the list | OneFootball

Brazil has lost a position in the Fifa national teams ranking. The supreme football entity released the updated table on Thursday morning, which includes changes in the top-10.

The Brazilian team was overtaken by Portugal and fell to the sixth place, while the Portuguese, champions of the Nations League, took the fifth position. Spain, the current European champions, passed Argentina and became the leader of the ranking. The Argentinians, in turn, lost two positions, also being overtaken by France, and now occupy the third place.

Another novelty in the top-10 is the exit of Germany, which fell to the 12th place and was replaced by Italy, back among the top 10 teams in the world. Croatia also gained a position and is in the ninth place. Belgium (8th), Netherlands (7th), and England (4th) complete the top-10.

Brazil's fall is due to a poor campaign in the South American Qualifiers. Despite securing a spot in the 2026 World Cup, the team led by Carlo Ancelotti finished the tournament in fifth place, with six losses in 18 games.
