This Thursday, the update of the world football ranking was announced and the Chilean team fell to 43rd place, the worst in 16 years. Argentina is firmly in the lead and is followed by France, while the podium is closed by Spain, the new European champion.
Apart from the irregular sporting performances of recent times and a lacklustre performance in the Copa América, La Roja is not getting back on track. The new ranking update FIFA shows the continuous free fall that the Everybody’s Team undergoes.
The readjustment of the world list of teams confirms a new decline. For the last tranche of the ranking, the national team occupies the 40th position. However, After the continental competition, he fell to 43rd place. This is the lowest position since July 2008, or 16 years.
The poor performance in the Copa America has finally taken its toll. The record is clear: one defeat and only two draws. The team led by Ricardo Gareca has not won a single victory in the tournament. In fact, not a single score has been obtained, which reflects the poor performance.
The national team is gradually moving down the rankings, moving away from the top 30. 2022, for example, started the year in 26th place and ended it in 31st. In 2023, it finished in 40th place.
This year they fell again to 42nd place, but they saw a slight improvement after the victory in the friendly match against Paraguay. However, they once again fell two places on the list. La Roja is ranked eighth in South America after being overtaken by Venezuela, who moved up 17 places.
Now that the continental competition is over, Tigre will focus on his main objective since his arrival on the red bench. The coach will have to face the South American qualifiers and go in search of qualification for the World Cup.
