Reigning world champions secure win and draw in double-header away to USA, who remain second
Malawi surge unprecedented 49 places
Denmark return to top 10 for first time in 16 years
With the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2027™ on the horizon and several teams having already booked their ticket to the finals, the latest edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking has been released following 183 matches in the most recent international windows, which featured qualifiers for Brazil 2027 in Europe and Africa, plus CAF Olympic preliminaries and a host of friendlies.
Spain (1st) have tightened their grip on top spot following back-to-back away meetings with the USA (2nd). La Roja triumphed in the first showdown, and although the sides could not be separated in the second, a win and a draw was enough to see the European heavyweights extend their advantage at the summit to almost 80 points. Germany (3rd) complete the podium having won both of their home friendlies to make up ground on the Stars and Stripes.
