USA rises to 15th in FIFA world rankings during World Cup

The United States men's national soccer team is currently ranked 15th in FIFA's live world rankings, moving up two spots during the 2026 World Cup. Following a decisive victory against Paraguay in their tournament opener, the U.S. aims to build on this momentum as they seek to advance past the group stage. The team's previous ranking was 17th, and they are now positioned just behind Mexico, the top team in CONCACAF. The U.S. previously reached the knockout stage in Qatar 2022 and hopes to replicate that success with a stronger performance in this World Cup.
