FIFA ranking, Algeria's big blow!

As during each international break, the Football-Ranking.com site updates the FIFA rankings in real time, which the body will not officially update until October 23. And some selections have performed well this month. This is particularly the case of Argentina, which is back in front of the French team in second place, of Italy and even of Germany, which are back in the Top 10.

In the Africa zone, which delivered its verdict on Tuesday, Morocco remains the best nation but lost two places (12th with 1710.12 points) despite its two victories against Bahrain and Congo. The Atlas Lions are still ahead of Senegal (18th with 1650.62 points) and Egypt (32nd with 1525.31 points). For its part, Algeria is taking its qualification for the 2026 World Cup, finally validated, with a nice leap.

Algeria's great performance in the FIFA rankings

Fourth representatives of CAF in the FIFA rankings, the Fennecs gleaned 9.52 points and moved up three places thanks to their two successes against Somalia (3-0) and Uganda (2-1). The teammates of new international Luca Zidane now appear in 35th position with 1510.26 points, behind Wales but ahead of Serbia (1507.84), Hungary (1504.92) and Scotland (1504.20).

However, the Greens are not making the best progress on the continent. With its two victories against Lesotho (2-1) and Benin (4-0), Nigeria gained 11.28 points and gained four places. The Super Eagles are 41st in the hierarchy with 1495.14 points, just ahead of Ivory Coast (42nd with 1491.78 points). Tunisia, Mali, Cameroon and South Africa complete the African Top 10.
