FIFA Women’s World Ranking Hits Record High as Japan Returns to Top Five

Posted : 06 March 2025

The latest FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking marks a historic moment with a record 196 teams included in the standings. Djibouti makes its debut at 195th place, adding to the growing presence of women's football on the global stage.

 

The ranking reflects results from 127 international matches played over the past few months, including African qualifiers for the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027 in Brazil.

 

Despite a 2-1 loss to Japan in the SheBelieves Cup final, the United States remains atop the rankings. Spain, Germany, and England hold their positions in second, third, and fourth, respectively.

 

Japan’s victory propels them back into the top five for the first time since 2015, while Sweden, Canada, and Brazil each drop a place. North Korea and the Netherlands retain their ninth and tenth spots, rounding out the top ten.

 

Further down the rankings, several teams made notable strides. Japan was the only side in the top tier to  climb more than two places, but lower-ranked teams saw significant progress. Puerto Rico, Montenegro, El Salvador, Nepal, the United Arab Emirates, Cabo Verde, and Cyprus all improved by at least four positions.

 

Among African teams, Burkina Faso and Benin rose five places each, while Tanzania and Kenya made the biggest jumps, moving up seven spots. More African nations could join the rankings in June, with Chad, Eritrea, Libya, and Sudan on the verge of securing their first-ever placements.
