Spain widens lead over US in FIFA women's rankings

Spain has increased its points advantage at the top of the FIFA women's soccer world rankings over the second-place United States. The update, released on December 12, 2025, shows Spain with 2,094.891 points after a rise of 28.11, while the US holds 2,057.583 points following a drop of 7.48.

The latest FIFA women's world rankings, published in Zurich on December 12, 2025, highlight Spain's continued dominance in international women's soccer. As the reigning Women's World Cup champions from the 2023 tournament—their first-ever title—Spain has maintained its position at No. 1. Since the previous rankings in August, Spain retained its UEFA Nations League crown, including a victory in the final last week against Germany.

In contrast, the United States, ranked No. 2, has won four out of five exhibition matches during the same period. The points gap between the two teams has grown, with Spain's score increasing by 28.11 to 2,094.891 and the US decreasing by 7.48 to 2,057.583.

Other notable movements include Germany rising two places to No. 3 after their Nations League final appearance. England remains at No. 4, while Sweden drops two spots to No. 5. Brazil and France exchange positions at Nos. 6 and 7, respectively. Japan holds steady at No. 8, North Korea climbs one spot to No. 9, and Canada falls to No. 10.

This update underscores Spain's strong form in recent competitions, solidifying their lead in the global standings.
