Updated: Brazil climb, Haiti fall to bottom of Copa in Fifa rankings | OneFootball

With the first round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup completed, the FIFA rankings saw significant changes.

Spain’s draw against Cape Verde cost La Roja second place. France moved up to second and trails leaders Argentina.

The draw between Brazil and Morocco also earned both teams one more spot (now 5th and 6th), overtaking Portugal (7th).

The other change in the top 10 was Germany and Belgium swapping places. Germany’s 7-1 win over Curaçao was enough to move them into 9th, pushing Belgium down to 10th.

At the bottom of the rankings, Haiti, which lost to Scotland, became the lowest-ranked team in the tournament. The Haitians dropped to 85th, below New Zealand (82nd), which gained points after drawing with Iran.

As a result, Friday’s match between Brazil and Haiti will pit two of the teams furthest apart in the FIFA rankings against each other.

Among the teams in the World Cup, Tunisia lost the most places in the first round. After being thrashed by Sweden, the African side dropped ten spots and now sits 55th.
