The latest increase can be attributed to other teams ranked above Vietnam losing points and subsequently enduring a drop in their own rankings.

Thailand, who are currently ranked as the best team in Southeast Asia, also slipped out of the top 100 in the latest FIFA rankings. Meanwhile, Indonesia jumped one place to rank 133rd in the world.

Japan is currently the best team in Asia, followed by Iran, the Republic of Korea, Australia, Qatar, and Iraq.

Argentina topped in world rankings thanks to their latest Copa America win. Elsewhere, following Spain’s win at EURO 2024 they also moved up five places to rank third in the world.
