Morocco moved above African Champions Algeria into third place, while Nigeria are fifth.

Meanwhile, Belgium remain the number one ranked nation despite losing their two matches in the UEFA Nations League finals.

Brazil are second, with France moving ahead of England into the third position. Italy also moved up one spot into fourth place while The Three Lions round up the top five.
