Our men's national team is firmly ranked 77th globally and ninth within Asia with 1,322.96 points, consistent with the previous release. Japan, on the other hand, remains firmly at the top of Asia, while Belgium has been at the top of the overall global rankings since September 2018 for a long time.
The calculation period for this ranking is from April 5 to May 23, during which time there was relatively little FIFA activity, especially during the Europa League sprint phase, and not much attention on national teams, which directly affected the magnitude of the change in the ranking, which was little changed from April.
