The FIFA rankings published on June 20, 2026 confirm the relative stability of the powers of world football, while highlighting slight adjustments in the hierarchy.

Senegal falls one place but remains in the Top 20
Standard bearer of African football, Senegal now occupies 16th place in the world with 1667.66 points, losing one rank compared to the previous update.
This slight decline occurs in a context of high competitive density within the Top 20, where the differences in points remain minimal and where each international result can quickly influence the ranking.
Behind him, Japan (17th) is getting dangerously close, confirming the pressure exerted by the Asian selections constantly progressing on the world stage.
At the top of the ranking, the hierarchy remains dominated by the same great football nations:
- Argentina: 1st with 1889.06 points
- France: 2nd with 1887.11 points
- Spain: 3rd with 1856.03 points
- England : 4e

Argentina retains first place, but with an extremely small lead over France, illustrating a particularly tight fight at the top. Spain completes a podium still largely dominated by the European and South American selections.
On the African continent, Morocco continues to stand out with a 6th place in the world, confirming its consistency at the highest level and its status as a continental reference.
