Spain retained its leadership in the FIFA ranking. Argentina is in second place, and France closes the top three teams in the world.

Due to sanctions from FIFA and the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), the Russian national team has missed several major international tournaments. Among them are the 2022 World Cup and the 2024 European Championship, and the Russians were also not allowed to participate in the selection for the 2026 World Cup. Karpin's team can only play friendly matches.
