Status quo for the French team in the FIFA rankings. After a generally disappointing year, the Blues still finished the year in 2nd place, just behind Argentina. They could even have stolen first place from Lionel Messi’s teammates in the event of a setback against Peru 8 days ago (the Albiceleste won 1-0). The rest of the Top 5 does not move, with Spain completing the podium, followed by Brazil and England.

For its part, Portugal gained one place and found itself 6th, just ahead of the Netherlands then Belgium, which lost 2 places and found itself 8th. Italy is 9th and Germany completes the TOP 10. Morocco, the highest ranked African nation, loses one place and finds itself 14th, unlike Senegal, which jumps from 20th to 17th place . The best progression in this ranking is to the credit of Niger, moving from 131st place to 122nd.
