Portugal climbed two places to No. 5, overtaking England and Brazil. The Italians dropped from the top 10, with Denmark replacing them at No. 9.
No. 15 Ivory Coast is the highest-ranked African team. Mexico still leads CONCACAF nations after rising to No. 20. Australia, at No. 21, leads Asian confederation nations. No. 130 New Zealand leads Oceania.
