DR ‹ › The Moroccan national team has climbed three places in the January FIFA rankings, moving from 11th to 8th place and achieving the highest ranking in its history. This rise follows Morocco's strong performance at the Africa Cup of Nations, where the team recorded five victories and one draw, consolidating its status as the top-ranked African and Arab team. With this achievement, Morocco returns to the world's top ten for the first time since April 1998, when it ranked tenth. It also sets a new benchmark for Arab football, surpassing Egypt's previous best ranking of ninth place in 2010. At the top of the global standings, Spain retained first place, followed by Argentina in second. France ranked third, ahead of England and Brazil, which completed the top five.
