Italy’s leadership of the FIFA World Rankings has lasted just a month as Argentina have now taken top spot.
The Azzurri had brought Brazil’s 55-month run as leaders to an end in February, to head the list for the first time since November 1993.
However, Argentina have now ousted the Azzurri, thanks to the 1-0 victory over France in February, and lead the rankings for the very first time since its introduction.
The World Champions remain above Brazil who are now third ahead of their Euro 2008 qualifier against Scotland in Bari on March 28.
Apart from that, and Brazil’s consequent drop to third, there were no other changes in the top 10. The next FIFA World Rankings will be published on April 18, 2007.
Top 10:
1 (3) Argentina – 1,616 points
2 (1) Italy – 1,592
3 (2) Brazil – 1,557
4 (4) France – 1,515
5 (5) Germany – 1,390
6 (6) England – 1,339
7 (7) Netherlands – 1,313
8 (9) Portugal – 1,288
