📊 It’s official: Spain return to number one in the FIFA rankings | OneFootball

After eleven years of absence, Luis de la Fuente’s team returns to the top as number one in the world in the September ranking, dethroning world champion Argentina. This is an achievement they hadn’t reached since June 2014.

This rise has been built on impeccable performance, with recent victories against Bulgaria and Turkey, adding to a positive streak that has allowed the Spanish national team to accumulate the necessary points to surpass their rivals.

With this change, France maintains its second position, while the former leader, Argentina, drops to third place, relinquishing the throne it held.

Notable Changes in the Top 10

The September ranking has brought other significant changes. Portugal has managed to climb one spot, taking fifth place and overtaking Brazil, which now sits in sixth.

Additionally, the Top 10 welcomes back two teams with great tradition: Croatia and Italy have climbed the rankings, now sitting ninth and tenth respectively. On the other hand, the German national team is one of the big losers, dropping three spots to twelfth position.
