Algeria rises in the FIFA ranking

Quietly but surely, the Fennecs have climbed one place, ending 2025 ranked 34th in the world, a symbolic rise that highlights their renewed momentum, even though they have not claimed a continental title since 2019.

A silent but revealing improvement

Published this Monday, the fifa The rankings take into account the results of the Arab Cup and 42 international matches played in recent weeks. With 1,517.68 points, Algeria slightly increases its total and secures a place on the African podium, only behind Morocco and Senegal, and surpassing Egypt, Nigeria and Tunisia. This achievement is even more impressive considering that the current African champions, Ivory Coast, are further down the list.
