The new FIFA world rankings, which came out on Thursday, confirm that Morocco is still Africa’s best football team. The Atlas Lions stayed in 14th place in the world with 1,676.14 points, proving once again that they are the best team on the region.
Senegal is next, in 21st place in the world, with 1,620.87 points. Egypt, in third place, is the best country in Africa, with 1,515.64 points. The high scores show how well these teams have done on the world stage.
The FIFA results show that Argentina is still the best team in the world. France and Spain are in second and third place, respectively.
Morocco has been steadily rising in the rankings since they made history by becoming the first African team to make it to the semifinals of the 2022 FIFA World Cup. This further enhanced their image in the world of football. Morocco’s reputation as the best football team in Africa will be put to the test again when the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations comes around.
The next update to the FIFA world rankings will likely include the results of future international games. Morocco is hoping to strengthen its place even more.
