Thursday 10 July 2025 - 12:43

Morocco has retained its 12th position in the latest FIFA world rankings for July 2025, continuing its dominance at the African and Arab levels. The Atlas Lions gained five additional points, bringing their total to 1699, and remain the highest-ranked African team, ahead of Senegal (18th globally), Egypt (34th), and Algeria (36th).

This ranking reflects the consistent performance of the national team under coach Walid Regragui, following solid results in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Niger and Tanzania in March, and friendly wins over Benin and Tunisia in June.

Morocco’s steady progress places it firmly among the top footballing nations and fuels its ambition to break into FIFA’s global top 10.

Globally, the top five remain Argentina, Spain, France, England, and Brazil.

Top 5 in Africa (July 2025 FIFA ranking):

  1. Morocco – 12th globally (1699 pts)
  2. Senegal – 18th (1635 pts)
  3. Egypt – 34th (1518 pts)
  4. Algeria – 36th (1503 pts)
  5. Nigeria – 44th (1484 pts)
