The FIFA World Ranking is a ranking system introduced by FIFA consisting of all men’s national teams in football, positioned based on their performance, with the most successful team placed top. The system was introduced in December 1992, and the top spot is currently held by Brazil- serving as the longest at number 1- who qualified for the upcoming FIFA World Cup.
