USMNT jumps to No. 14 in final FIFA Rankings of 2025

The U.S. men’s national team’s pair of victories this month have moved them up in November’s FIFA Rankings. 

Mauricio Pochettino’s squad moved up two spots to No. 14, FIFA announced Wednesday. The USMNT defeated Paraguay 2-1 and Uruguay 5-1 over the past week, ending 2025 on a five-match unbeaten run. 

Gio Reynq and Folarin Balogun both found the back of the net at Subaru Park before four different players scored at Raymond James Stadium. Alex Freeman scored twice, while Sebastian Berhalter, Diego Luna, and Tanner Tessmann also found the back of the net. 

The USMNT earned 11 victories in all competitions this year, picking up wins over Australia, Japan, as well as the aforementioned Uruguay and Paraguay. 

Mexico dropped to No. 15, Canada rose to No. 27, and Panama moved up to No. 30.

The top-four remained the same with Spain, Argentina, France and England staying in their places. Brazil (No. 5), Germany (No. 9), and Croatia (No. 10) were among the nations to move up in the Top-10. 

Portugal dropped to No. 6, the Netherlands fell to No. 7, and Belgium stayed at No. 8.

The USMNT will return to action next March for its final international window before Pochettino selects his World Cup roster.
