England’s senior Women’s team retain their fourth place in the FIFA world rankings after the European triumph in the summer, putting them within touching distance of the top three ahead of the 2023 Women’s World Cup.
Before the Lionesses won the country’s first piece of silverware since 1966 they were ranked eighth - one place below Spain but one above Brazil. However, movement within the top five world rankings post-Euros has seen England leapfrog into fourth place, ahead of France who dropped two places in August, to fifth.
Currently ahead of the Lionesses are Sweden and Germany, who have been trading places throughout the year. The National Eleven solidified second place while Sweden has slotted into third and the USA continue to occupy the top spot, as they have done since 2017.
