Top 10 FIFA Women’s Rankings (November 2025)

1. Spain (La Roja) – 2066.79

Despite losing the Euro 2025 final to England on penalties, Spain holds onto the #1 spot due to the massive points buffer they built as 2023 World Cup champions. Their technical dominance remains unmatched, led by midfield maestro Aitana Bonmatí, who continues to be the face of global women’s football.

2. United States (USWNT) – 2065.06

Emma Hayes head coach of the USWNT

The USA has roared back to elite status under coach Emma Hayes. Their Gold Medal victory at the 2024 Paris Olympics (defeating Brazil 1-0) signaled the end of their brief transition period.

The “Triple Espresso” front line—Smith, Rodman, and Swanson—has made them the most dangerous counter-attacking team in the world.

3. Sweden – 2025.26

Sweden remains the model of consistency. While they haven’t lifted a major trophy recently, their ability to reach the semi-finals of almost every major tournament keeps them firmly in the top 3.

Their physicality and set-piece dominance continue to trouble every opponent.

4. England – 2022.64

Sarina Wiegman England Women's National Soccer Team Coach

The Lionesses are the Champions of Europe once again. England successfully defended their crown by defeating Spain in the Euro 2025 final, a tactical masterclass by manager Sarina Wiegman.

Although ranked 4th due to previous friendly results, they are arguably the most “in-form” team in Europe right now.

5. Germany – 2011.56

Germany has stabilized after a rocky 2023. They claimed the Bronze Medal at the 2024 Olympics by defeating Spain, proving they can still beat the world’s best. Their efficient, high-pressing style remains a benchmark for European football.

6. France – 1988.68

France continues to produce world-class talent but struggles to win the “big one.” They reached the UEFA Nations League final earlier in the year but fell short. Their squad depth is incredible, but tournament mentality remains their biggest hurdle.

7. Brazil – 1976.3

Marta Orlando pride and Brazil

The Olympic Silver Medalists have found a new identity. Even without relying solely on legendary veteran Marta, Brazil showed grit and tactical discipline in Paris. Their resurgence has solidified them as the clear #1 team in South America.

8. Japan – 1971.05

Japan remains the most technically gifted team in Asia. Their ability to play through press with intricate passing keeps them in the top 10, though they struggle physically against teams like Sweden or the USA.

9. Canada – 1967.83

Canada has slipped slightly but remains a top-tier defensive side. Their organized structure makes them difficult to beat, though goal-scoring consistency has been an issue since their 2021 Olympic Gold run.

10. North Korea – 1944.22

North Korea is a rare case in world football. Even with fewer international friendlies than most nations, they excel in Asian youth tournaments and stay strong at the senior level, keeping a top 10 spot thanks to impressive win rates in official AFC competitions.

Ranking Methodology of Women’s Soccer World Rankings

The FIFA Women’s World Ranking is based on every international match a team has ever played (dating back to 1971), with weights assigned to emphasize recent results. Unlike the men’s ranking, it doesn’t reset; teams gain or lose points directly from their opponents based on the match result and the opponent’s strength.

  • Next Update: December 2025
  • Key Factors: The results of the 2024 Olympics and the 2025 Euro have had a big impact on the current standings.
