France Overtakes Argentina at the Top of FIFA Rankings

France's national team has ascended to the top of the FIFA rankings, dethroning reigning world champions Argentina. This shift occurred after their commanding 3-0 victory over Sweden in the Round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup.

Didier Deschamps' squad boosted their points tally by 6.4, reaching a total of 1916.24. Argentina, meanwhile, slipped to second place with 1907.4 points.

The "Gauchos" cannot reclaim the top spot even with a win against Cape Verde in the knockout stages, as they would gain minimal points due to their opponent's 64th-place ranking.

Currently, European champions Spain sit in third with 1879.58 points, followed by Brazil with 1804.92, and Morocco rounding out the top five with 1788.86 points.
