Spain were rewarded for their World Cup-winning campaign by climbing back to the top of the FIFA men's world rankings, while Türkiye dropped 10 places after a disappointing group-stage exit at the 2026 tournament.
The latest FIFA/Coca-Cola Men's World Rankings, released Monday following the conclusion of the World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico, reflected the dramatic shifts caused by football's biggest tournament, with Spain replacing Argentina at the summit after lifting their second world title.
Spain sealed the championship with a 1-0 extra-time victory over defending champions Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
Ferran Torres scored the decisive goal in the 106th minute to secure Spain's first World Cup title since 2010 after a defensive masterclass that saw them concede just one goal throughout the tournament.
Their impressive run earned them a 30.27-point increase, taking them to 1,995.88 points and back to the top of the rankings.
