France has held onto third place in the latest FIFA world rankings. The team has 1,958.86 points, solidifying its position behind leaders Spain (2,011.57) and Argentina (1,972.80).
This consistency follows a strong start to the Nations League under manager Zinédine Zidane, with three wins from their first four matches. The positive form continued in recent friendlies, including a 4-1 victory over Belgium on October 5. Their recent run of three wins, one draw, and one loss (WDWWL) reinforces their standing.
Portugal made the biggest move in the top 10, climbing to fifth place and pushing Brazil and Morocco down one spot each. England remains in fourth. The next FIFA ranking update is scheduled for November 18.
Les Bleus now turn their focus to their next fixture, an away match against Italy on November 12. Zidane's aim will be to maintain this consistency to try and gain ground in the global hierarchy in the coming months.
