Doha: Qatar have dropped two more places to 46th in the latest FIFA rankings, as their struggles in the World Cup 2026 Qualifiers continue.
The Asian champions had already fallen 10 spots in the previous rankings after a loss to the United Arab Emirates and a draw against North Korea in their opening two games of the Road to 26 Asian Qualifiers.
A recent 4-1 defeat to Iran pushed them further down, while a 3-1 win over lower-ranked Kyrgyzstan had little effect on their standing in the rankings announced on Thursday.
Qatar remain the fifth-best Asian team, with Japan (15th) leading, followed by Iran (19th). South Korea are ranked 22nd, two places above Australia (24th).
Meanwhile, world champions Argentina retained their top spot, but the gap between them and the chasing pack has narrowed. France remain second, with Spain in third.
