Belgium and Canada take 2021 honours in 2021 FIFA rankings

Belgium takes honors at the top of the FIFA/Coca-Cola Ranking for the fourth consecutive year dating back to 2017. 

The rankings sees Canada emerge as this year’s ‘Most Improved Side’ with a 130.32-point gain

Because of the Covid-19 pandemic, only 352 full internationals were played in 2020. Not since 1987 (323 matches) had so few games been played in a calendar year. By contrast, planet football made up for lost time in 2021 with a record breaking 1116 matches played.

And while the quantity of games changed radically from one year to the next, the top ranked team in the FIFA/ Coca-Cola World Ranking has remained the same.

For the fourth year in a row, Belgium (1st) end the calendar year in pole position, albeit only just ahead of Brazil (2nd) by 2.1 points with France (3rd) completing the podium for 2021.

For their part, Canada (40th) are the year’s ‘Most Improved Side’ having picked up no fewer than 130.32 points over the last 12 months.

However, just in terms of last month, the most improved Asian team are Indonesia (164th + 11.13 points).

Winners of the FIFA Arab Cup 2021™, Algeria (29th +3) jointly made the best progress in terms of places, along with Qatar (48th + 3), who finished third at the tournament, and Thailand (115th +3).
