Mexico holds top-10 FIFA ranking despite winless streak
Despite failing to win in their last five matches, the Mexican national team has maintained its tenth position in the latest FIFA world rankings.
The Mexican national team is going through a difficult period, as the squad has yet to secure a victory since Rafael Marquez took charge. Despite this ongoing struggle, the national side managed to retain tenth place in the latest update of the official FIFA rankings.
During the recent international break, Mexico faced a challenging schedule against three South American opponents and their main rival, the United States. They concluded the period with two draws and two losses, with the draws against Colombia and Peru proving vital to maintaining their position in the standings.
The Mexican team saw a decrease of 7.56 points in their total, bringing them to 1738.48 points. While this was enough to stay in the top ten, the gap between them and their closest pursuers has narrowed significantly. Colombia is now only three points behind, while Switzerland trails by just 13 units.
Mexico remains the highest-ranked team in the CONCACAF region, sitting six spots ahead of the United States. Meanwhile, Spain continues to lead the global ranking as the reigning world champions, currently boasting over 2000 points after an impressive streak of 41 games without a defeat.
