Spain will end 2025 as the best men's team in the FIFA ranking. There were limited changes in the new ranking published on Monday, as only the matches of the Arab Cup were counted after the previous rankings were published on November 19. The top ten places remain unchanged, with Argentina, France, England, Brazil, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Croatia following Spain in that order. Spain won Group E qualification for the World Cup and will face Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, and Cape Verde in Group H at the 2026 tournament, which will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
