India Slips To 136 In FIFA Rankings -- Worst In Nearly A Decade: Spain Holds Top Spot

By IANS News October 17, 2025 • 20:50 PM View: 198

FIFA World Rankings: Indian football’s dismal run on the international stage continued as the men’s senior national team slumped to 136th in the latest FIFA World Rankings — their lowest position since November 2016.

The new ranking, released on Friday, compounds the Blue Tigers’ woes as they find themselves out of contention for both the 2026 FIFA World Cup and the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.

Once seen as a team on the rise after their 2023 triumphs in the Intercontinental Cup, SAFF Championship, and Tri-Nation Series, India’s fortunes have sharply declined over the past year.
