Spain has seized the top spot in the FIFA World Ranking after winning the 2026 World Cup, ending Argentina’s two‑year reign at the summit. La Roja’s rise comes on the back of a dominant run throughout the tournament, crowned by lifting the trophy — a triumph that delivered a decisive boost in ranking points.
According to the latest FIFA update, Argentina has dropped to third place, while France maintained its position within the top three. This shift marks the most significant change at the top of the rankings in years, reaffirming Spain’s return to the global stage after its last appearance at No. 1 back in 2014.
