Belgium, Portugal, Netherlands, Colombia and Italy complete the top ten countries in the world. Colombia made it to the finals of the Copa America and put up a tough fight against Argentina, but were undone by a late goal from Lautaro Martinez in AET.
India are 124th in the Men’s World Rankings, retaining their spot after failing to qualify for Round 3 of the FIFA World Cup 2026 Qualifiers. The AIFF has since parted ways with head coach Igor Stimac and is looking for a new face to lead the new generation.
