LAUSANNE: Belgium have joined world champions France as joint leaders of the FIFA world rankings released Thursday, the first time in the table’s 25-year history that top spot has been shared.
Belgium have notched up a pair of wins, with victory over Iceland in the inaugural Nations League to bring them level with the French, the team who beat them in the World Cup semi-finals.
The only other change in the top 10 sees Denmark (10th, down one place) slip below Spain (9th, unchanged). Outside of the top ten, two Nations League wins for Ukraine (29th, up six) over Czech Republic (47th, down three) and Slovakia (26th, unchanged). (AFP)
