Zurich, Switzerland – The spotlight this quarter in the latest FIFA ranking is on the extraordinary achievements of Equatorial Guinea, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Equatorial Guinea surged forward with a rise of two places, while both Angola and the DR Congo have continued their advance by climbing one spot in the global rankings.

Their progress underscores the vibrant and competitive spirit of African football, demonstrating the continent’s continued upward surge and emerging dominance on the world stage.

However, during this period marked by continental competitions such as UEFA EURO and Copa América, African teams that have not been active dropped in the rankings.

Despite Morocco, the leader of African football, experiencing a slight dip, they continue to shine brightly, holding their own against esteemed competitors, CAF Online reported.

Although they have slipped from 12th to 14th in the world, the Atlas Lions remain a formidable force in international football, according to the latest FIFA rankings released on Thursday in Zurich, Switzerland.

Similarly, the Lions of Teranga, Senegal, their illustrious rivals, have slipped to 19th position on the standings
