USA reclaimed the top place on the FIFA/Cola-Cola Women's World Ranking after winning Olympic gold, while France dropped eight places and Liechtenstein made their ranking debut.
Twelve months after being ousted from the top of the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking, USA (1st, up 4) have made a triumphant return to the summit following their victorious Women’s Olympic Football Tournament 2024 campaign. The Stars and Stripes claimed their fifth Olympic gold medal in Paris, and their first since London 2012, by edging past Brazil (8th, up 1) 1-0 in the final.
England (2nd, up 1) have climbed one spot at the expense of Spain (3rd, down 2), who are now in third after seeing their bid for Olympic glory ended with defeat to Brazil in the semi-finals, which was promptly followed by another reverse at the hands of Germany (4th) in the bronze-medal match. The Germans, meanwhile, have held on to their position in the ranking, as have Japan (7th), who were beaten in the quarter-finals by the USA.
Australia (15th) drops three places after losing -32.84 points since the rankings were last released in June.
