FIFA Futsal Rankings – Top Futsal Nations Worldwide The FIFA Futsal Rankings determine the best men's national futsal teams in the world, updated monthly. Brazil reigns supreme at #1 having won 5 of 8 FIFA Futsal World Cups and producing stars like Ricardinho. They boast a commanding lead in the rankings. European nations Spain, Portugal, Russia, Italy and Kazakhstan make up the rest of the top 10. Spain and Portugal have strong domestic club leagues and talented national teams. Russia is the current FIFA Futsal World Cup holders while Italy and Kazakhstan frequently qualify for major tournaments. Iran, Argentina, Egypt and Guatemala lead Asian, African and CONCACAF representation in the top 25. Iran's futsal success is built on the widespread popularity of street football played with miniature goals. Argentina and Egypt have talented squads but lack consistency. The rankings demonstrate Brazil's enduring dominance of the indoor 5-a-side game. But competition is heating up with European teams like Russia and Spain determined to showcase their quality on the global stage.

FIFA Futsal World Rankings: Vietnam Claims Impressive 33rd Position The Vietnamese futsal team under the guidance of coach Diego Guistozzi is currently ranked 33rd in the world. Photo: VFF Previously, FIFA has not ranked national futsal teams. The rankings used by teams are mainly based on the rankings of futsalworldranking.com. Based on this website, the Vietnamese futsal team ranks 44th in the world. However, FIFA has just announced its rankings for the first time, with a total of 139 ranked teams. The initial rankings have been based on statistics gathered from over 4,600 FIFA ‘A’ matches. FIFA defines an international ‘A’ match as a match between two FIFA members for which both members field their first representative team (‘A’ team). According to FIFA information, this ranking system will also serve for classification before drawing lots to divide groups in all upcoming tournaments of the FIFA Futsal World Cup. The system will likewise be used for qualification processes and enable comprehensive and consistent data to be gathered to monitor member associations in accordance with the FIFA Regulations Governing International Matches. This will support the prevention of practices that jeopardize the integrity of the sport, such as match manipulation. Brazil sits at the summit in the first FIFA Futsal Men’s World Ranking. Brazil is the champion team in 9 FIFA Futsal World Cups to date. Next are Portugal and Spain. Portugal is the team present at the 2024 Futsal World Cup as the defending champion and owns two recent European championships. Spain is the team that has won the FIFA Futsal World Cup twice (2000 and 2004), and won the European championship seven times. Thailand is the only representative of Southeast Asia to be listed in the Top 10, and claimed the second place in Asia, after the Iranian team, in the rankings. The Vietnamese women’s futsal team has an impressive ranking on the world rankings. Photo: VFF In the rankings for women’s futsal teams worldwide, 69 teams are ranked. The Vietnamese women’s futsal team ranked 13th in the world, 4th in Asia and 2nd in Southeast Asia. Similar to the rankings for men’s futsal teams, FIFA’s women’s futsal rankings will serve to seed teams for futsal tournaments organized by FIFA, including the first women’s futsal World Cup in 2025. Therefore, being in the Top 4 in Asia can also be considered an advantage for the Vietnamese women’s futsal team. In the women’s game, Brazil’s national team have been just as dominant as their male counterparts, followed by Spain and Portugal. Asia has three representatives listed in the top 10, namely Thailand, Iran, and Japan, which secured the 6th, 8th, and 9th positions, respectively.

A RevSportz Exclusive Phurba Tempa Lachenpa, born in Sikkim, plays as goalkeeper for Mumbai City FC. Started his career in the Shillong Premier League with the youth side of Shillong Lajong FC, Lachenpa was Lajong’s second-choice goalkeeper in the team’s I-League squad. Vishal Kaith, the current Mohun Bagan keeper who was first choice back in 2017, moved to Pune City FC in the ISL, making way for Phurba to take the goalkeeper’s jersey for Shilling Lajong FC. Since then, the 26-year-old goalkeeper has proved his worth wherever he played, and he joined Mumbai City in 2020 after spending a season with Real Kashmir FC. He was Mumbai’s second-choice goalkeeper behind Amrinder Singh but after the senior keeper left for Bagan, Phurba grabbed the opportunity and proved his worth for the City Group’s team. In the recently concluded ISL season, he was phenomenal throughout, with nine clean sheets winning him the ISL Golden Glove award. He conceded only 17 goals from the 179 shots he faced. In this exclusive conversation with RevSportz, Lachenpa shared his journey, the experience of playing the ISL final at Yubabharati Krirangan and the competition for the No.1 jersey with the national team. Phurba has been included in the preparatory camp for the Indian team, training in Bhubaneswar for the all-important FIFA World Cup Qualifier against Kuwait, to be played at the Salt Lake stadium on June 6. Here are the excerpts. Q: How do you look back at the ISL Final? How was the atmosphere? Was it an added pressure with so much crowd? Phurba: Frankly speaking, it was no pressure for me. Growing up as a sport-loving kid, I have seen such huge numbers in the stands, and I have always wanted to play in front of such a huge crowd. So, for us it’s always a motivation playing in front of such a crowd, and for me personally, it’s an added source of motivation. I want to prove myself in such an atmosphere. Whether it’s a home crowd or away crowd, for me it gives me the same motivation to prove myself. The Kolkata crowd was tremendous and it’s a good sign for Indian football that people came in such huge numbers. It was an added motivation for us in the final. Read: https://lnkd.in/gcKGnjAX
