There will be no first place in the FIFA rankings for the French team with a view to finishing the year 2024. The Blues of Didier Deschamps, victorious over Italy on Sunday evening and first in their group in the Nations League, could hope to seize first place in the FIFA rankings with a view to finishing the year. But for that, they had to hope that Lionel Messi's Argentina did not win against Peru on Tuesday evening in World Cup qualifying. However, the 2022 world champions won 1 goal to 0 and at the last minute they retained the lead in the FIFA rankings ahead of the Blues.
France 2nd
Argentina won thanks to a magnificent goal from Lautaro Martinez, served by Lionel Messi. The reigning world champions will thus retain first place for the latest FIFA rankings of 2024, ahead of the Blues and European Champion Spain, which is hot on their heels. But thanks to this second place in the FIFA rankings, France already knows that it will not face the eleven European countries which follow it in the FIFA rankings and which will all be seeded for the draw for qualifications for the 2026 World Cup. These are Spain, England, Portugal, the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Croatia, Switzerland, Denmark and Austria. So good news.
