World champions Argentina are at the top of the FIFA rankings, followed by World Cup runners-up France.

Brazil are at No. 3, ahead of Belgium in fourth spot.

The Polish team, captained by star striker Robert Lewandowski, on March 24 opened its Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with a 1-3 defeat against the Czech Republic. The Poles then beat Albania 1-0 at home in their second qualifier on March 27.

After two rounds of fixtures, Poland are second in their qualifying Group E, which also includes Moldova and the Faroe Islands.

The Poles, coached by Portuguese manager Fernando Santos, take on Moldova away from home in their next Euro 2024 qualifier on June 20.

Poland reached the last 16 of last year's World Cup in Qatar before being eliminated by eventual runners-up France.

Poland's lowest place in the world rankings was 78th, in 2013.
