The Belgium team remains at the forefront of the FIFA world rankings, in which Brazil rose to second place and progress, after their continental titles, Italy and Argentina, as well as Mexico and the United States, which enter the 'top 10 '.

Although Roberto Martínez's 'Red Devils' could not fight for the title in the European Championship when they fell to Italy, they continue as leaders, now ahead of Brazil, a finalist in the Copa América, and France, the great disappointment of the European continental tournament by being eliminated in the round of 16 against Switzerland.

England, the European runner-up, remains fourth, just ahead of their executioner in the final at Wembley, Italy, and Argentina, who climbed two positions after winning the Copa América at Maracana.

The rise of the team led by Lionel Scaloni is of utmost importance because the first eight on this list will be seeded at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Spain, a semi-finalist in the Eurocup, is now seventh, while Mexico and the United States take advantage of their performance in the Concacaf Gold Cup (runner-up and champion) to settle in ninth and tenth, respectively.

Qatar, a semi-finalist in the Gold Cup, achieves the best progression of the month.

It goes up 16 places and equals its best historical position (42), dating from 1993.
