FIFA Rankings: India Retains 124th Spot, Argentina Consolidates Top Position With Copa America Title

Copa America: The Indian football team has retained its 124th spot while Lionel Messi's Argentina consolidated the top position in the latest FIFA rankings issued on Thursday. Argentina's unbeaten run to the continental title glory strengthened their hold at the top spot.

India heaved a sigh of relief as it didn't drop any place in the rankings after descending three spots in the previous rankings updated in June after a failed 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.

India's performance has been declining since December last year. It had ranked 99 at its highest point when it first entered the top 100 last year, but it has since been falling.
