On May 27, Beijing time, the international soccer authority unveiled the global ranking of men's national teams as of May 2021. China's men's national soccer team holds a solid 77th place in the overall global rankings and occupies the ninth position in the Asian region with 1,322.96 points, exactly the same as in the previous rankings. While Japan's men's soccer team continues to lead the Asian rankings, Belgium's men's soccer team has been occupying the top spot in the overall world rankings since September 2018.
The statistical cycle of the rankings covers the period from April 5 to May 23, during which FIFA had relatively little activity, especially in European soccer, where leagues are in the sprint phase, so the national team rankings did not fluctuate significantly.
The Chinese men's football team, currently preparing for the 2022 Qatar World Cup Asian qualifying round of 40 in Suzhou, continues to rank 77th in the world with 1,322.96 points, 9th among Asian teams.The upcoming matches against the national football team in Guam (198th in the world, 43rd in Asia, with 872.83 points), Maldives (155th in the world, 32nd in Asia, with 1038.31 points), the Philippines (125th in the world, 23rd in Asia, with 1,135.94 points) and Syria (79th in the world, 10th in Asia, with 1,304.12 points) are also ranked. Guam (198th in the world, 43rd in Asia, 872.83 points), Maldives (155th in the world, 32nd in Asia, 1038.31 points), the Philippines (125th in the world, 23rd in Asia, 1,135.94 points) and Syria (79th in the world, 10th in Asia, 1,304.12 points) also remain unchanged from last month.
The Japanese men's soccer team is ranked 28th in the global ranking, ahead of the Asian rankings with 1509.34 points. Iran, South Korea and Australia, the second to fourth ranked teams in the Asian rankings, are all ranked in the Top 50, and the Chinese men's soccer team has only 7.2 points less than the United Arab Emirates and 18.84 points more than Syria, who are right behind them.
