Iran’s national football team rises to 22nd in FIFA rankings

Tehran, IRNA - Iran’s national football team, known as Team Melli, has jumped two places in the latest International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) rankings, securing the 22nd position in the world.

Iran’s victory over Afghanistan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan in the CAFA tournament paved the way for their ascent, according to a Thursday report by the IRNA.

Argentina, the champion of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, still holds the top position, while teams like France, Brazil, England, Belgium, Croatia, the Netherlands, Italy, Portugal, and Spain occupy the second to tenth spots.

Powerful football teams such as Sweden, Ukraine, Serbia, Poland, Scotland, Wales, the Czech Republic, Turkey, and Norway are now ranked lower than Iran’s national team.

Among Asian teams, Iran continues to hold the second position, after Japan.
