Spain has ascended to the top of FIFA's women's rankings, reclaiming the No. 1 spot from the United States. This comes after Spain's steady performance, despite a recent loss to England in the final of the European Championship. The U.S. had held the top position since clinching Olympic gold in Paris.

England has climbed to fourth place, following their strong back-to-back victories in the European tournaments, even as they suffered a defeat to Spain in the 2023 World Cup final. Meanwhile, Brazil, despite securing their ninth Copa America title, dropped to seventh in the rankings.

In other movements, Sweden and France saw significant upward shifts in rank, reflecting their commendable performances at the Euros. Sweden rose to third after narrowly missing out against England in the quarterfinals, while France moved up to sixth following their own quarterfinal exit.
