Belgium, who came third in last year's World Cup in Russia, remain at the top of the FIFA ranking, ahead of world champions France.

Brazil are at No. 3, ahead of England.

After the previous FIFA ranking was released towards the end of October, Poland beat Israel 2-1 and Slovenia 3-2 in their last two Euro 2020 qualifiers.

The Poles, managed by Jerzy Brzęczek, finished top of their qualifying Group G on 25 points and have booked a berth in next year’s European championships.

The Euro 2020 tournament will be held from June 12 to July 12, 2020 in 12 cities around Europe.

Poland in 2016 made it through to the quarterfinals of the European championships in France, losing to Portugal on penalties.
