Changes in FIFA ranking: Iran drops to 24th place

According to reports in the Iranian sports channels آخرین خبر ورزشی, the victory of the Austrian national team over the Jordan national team shuffled the deck in the global FIFA ranking. The result awarded Austria 15.45 ranking points, which vaulted it to 21st place in the world.

According to آخرین خبر, this achievement led to a change in the positions of three leading Asian national teams: Iran, Australia, and South Korea, which each dropped one spot in the ranking. The Iranian national team, which dropped to 23rd place after a draw against New Zealand, now stands at 24th place with 1605.12 points.

The reports emphasize that the ranking may change again by the end of the World Cup matches. Now, all eyes are on the upcoming matches of the Iranian national team against Belgium and Egypt. These matches, also reported in کانال فوتبال برتر ࡆ لیگ برتر 360, will be decisive both for determining the fate of Group G and for improving the national team's position in the global table.
