Sweden drops in ranking - worst in seven years

The points lost in the World Cup qualifiers are costing the women's football team dearly. Sweden has dropped from fifth to eighth place in the world rankings.

The latest ranking includes all international matches since December. This means that all of Sweden's World Cup qualifying matches during the spring are included. This means that the draw with Serbia (0–0) and the late loss to Denmark (1–2) cost Sweden ranking positions.

Sweden and Japan swap places, with Japan moving up to fifth place and Sweden slipping to eighth. This is Sweden's worst ranking since March 2019, when it was ninth.

Spain continues to top the ranking ahead of the USA and England.
