USMNT Falls in FIFA Ranking and Loses CONCACAF Top Spot
The latest FIFA Ranking update reveals that the United States is no longer the top national team in CONCACAF, ceding that position to Mexico.
Despite a goalless draw against Canada and a convincing victory over New Zealand under Javier Aguirre's management, "El Tri" remains in 17th place in the rankings. Meanwhile, the United States has dropped to 18th following disappointing results against Canada and New Zealand.
This shift in the rankings reflects the recent inconsistency of the U.S. team compared to Mexico's solid performances in recent matches. Although Canada has shown notable improvements, it has not significantly climbed in the standings, allowing Mexico to reaffirm its status as the highest-ranked team in the region.
Globally, Argentina continues to lead the rankings, followed by France and Spain. The stability at the top contrasts with the shifts within CONCACAF, where Mexico regains its place as the region's premier footballing power.
