FIFA ranking: Morocco climbs one spot, ranks 12th globally
Morocco has moved up one spot to claim the 12th position globally in the FIFA rankings, as announced in the latest rankings released by the international football governing body on Thursday.
With 1663.39 points, the Atlas Lions maintain their top spot in Africa ahead of Senegal, which occupies the 17th position with 1620.74 points.
The Moroccan national team also retains the top position in the Arab world, ahead of Egypt, ranked 36th with 1500.38 points.
On a global scale, Argentina remains at the top of the FIFA rankings, followed by France and England.
As of February 15, 2024, the FIFA Top 10 stands as follows:
Argentina
France
England
Belgium
Brazil
Netherlands
Portugal
Spain
Italy
Croatia
In the latest edition of the FIFA/Men’s World Ranking, there is plenty of movement further down the standings following the matches contested in the CAF Africa Cup of Nations and the AFC Asian Cup.
Indeed, across the two continents, no fewer than six teams have scaled ten places or more. Amongst the African sides, Côte d’Ivoire (39th, up 10) reap the rewards of their continental triumph on home soil, secured following an eventful tournament campaign. Beaten finalists Nigeria (28th, up 14) make significant strides but are no match for the Angola side they ousted in the last eight (93rd, up 24), who are the biggest climbers in the latest instalment of the global ranking.
