Most of the top 50 is unchanged, with Germany, Brazil and Belgium still the leading trio at the summit of the same top ten as last month.

In fact, the first 47 positions remain totally unchanged from April’s ranking, but outside the top 50, a couple of teams have made notable advances. Kuwait (160th, up 16) have leapt up the table thanks in part to their 2-0 friendly victory over Palestine.

Just three more sides – Grenada (163rd, up 8), Benin (84th, up 6) and Botswana (142nd, up 6) – have moved up more than five ranking spots over the past month.

The Philippines (111th, up 2) are currently in their best-ever position in the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking due to the Azkals’ positive results in recent months – which included qualifying for their maiden AFC Asian Cup appearance.

The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on 7 June 2018.
