The five other teams involved in friendly matches since the global ladder’s last update were Panama (played twice - 81st, unchanged), Uzbekistan (85th, unchanged), Belarus (87th, unchanged), Guatemala (130th, unchanged) and Nicaragua (151st, unchanged).

Belgium and France retained their first and second positions respectively in the latest rankings. Brazil is on the third place followed by England.
