Despite the positive results achieved by the Moroccan national football team in their last two matches during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, they are expected to drop one position in the upcoming FIFA ranking, set to be released at the end of this month. According to a football ranking website that specializes in predicting team standings ahead of FIFA's official release, Morocco is projected to fall from 13th to 14th place. The Atlas Lions' decline is attributed to the Uruguayan team's rise from 14th to 11th place, bolstered by their victory over Colombia, ranked ninth globally, which earned them 13.55 points. In contrast, Morocco gained only 6.60 points from wins against Gabon and Lesotho due to the lower FIFA rankings of their opponents. Despite this drop, Morocco will remain the top-ranked African team. Meanwhile, Senegal is expected to climb two places to 18th, while Egypt will fall three spots to 33rd. Globally, Argentina is anticipated to retain its position at the top of the rankings, followed by France, Spain, and England, with Brazil rounding out the top five.
