In a groundbreaking announcement made by FIFA on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, the Moroccan national football team has ascended to the sixth position in the latest global rankings, marking a historic achievement for the team. This is the first time in its history that Morocco has reached such a high rank, reflecting the team's exceptional performance on the world stage.
The live ranking update published on FIFA's official website revealed that Morocco's points have increased to 1755.62, a slight rise from 1755.10 points in the previous update released on June 4, 2026. This upward trajectory illustrates the team's consistent efforts and dedication to excellence in international football.
Currently, the top five teams in the FIFA rankings are Argentina, leading with 1889.06 points, followed closely by France at 1887.11 points, Spain in third place at 1856.03, England in fourth with 1822.68, and Brazil rounding out the top five at 1765.34. Previously, Morocco had reached seventh place in the June 4 update, which was already a remarkable feat in the team's history.
The improvement in Morocco's ranking can be attributed to their strong performance during the World Cup 2026 group stage, where they secured a commendable draw against Brazil, finishing the match at one goal each. This match, held last Saturday, was seen by analysts as a significant achievement, often described as a 'victory in spirit' due to the impressive display by the 'Atlas Lions' in their opening game of the tournament.
As a result of this draw, both teams earned one point in the Group C standings, which also includes Scotland and Haiti. The Moroccan team harbors ambitious goals for this tournament, especially following their historic achievement at the Qatar World Cup 2022, where they became the first Arab and African team to reach the semifinals, concluding the tournament in fourth place.
