Spain Still Dominates the December 2025 FIFA Rankings
Spain holds the top spot as December 2025 rankings are released.

Global Standings Snapshot

FIFA released the December 2025 world rankings on Monday, revealing that Spain has retained the top spot with 1877.18 points. Argentina stays second, matching last month’s total of 1873.33 points, keeping a slim margin between the two giants.

France sits in third with 1870 points, followed by England at 1834.12 and Brazil in fifth with 1760.46. Morocco remains firmly in 11th place, with potential improvement expected next month based on their performance in Africa’s premier tournament.

Africa and the Top 10

The top 10 globally is listed as follows: 1- Spain, 2- Argentina, 3- France, 4- England, 5- Brazil, 6- Portugal, 7- Netherlands, 8- Belgium, 9- Germany, 10- Croatia.

Across Africa, the rankings show: 11- Morocco, 19- Senegal, 34- Algeria (+1), 35- Egypt (-1), 38- Nigeria, 41- Tunisia (-1), 42- Côte d'Ivoire, 53- Mali (+1), 56- DR Congo, 57- Cameroon.

Punchline 1: Spain at No. 1 is like a sniper finding the perfect target—calm, precise, and somehow always on target. Pew!

Punchline 2: If the rankings were a football match, the ball would still end up with Spain because even the servers can’t resist a clean, epic encore. Boom.
