FIFA has announced its first futsal world rankings.

FIFA announced the futsal world rankings on the 7th (Korean time). The world rankings have been announced for soccer, where 11 players play, but this is the first time that FIFA has given a world ranking for futsal, where 5 players play indoors.

FIFA has determined rankings based on performance in international competitions, and Brazil, which has consistently shown strength by reaching the top at the 2024 South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) Copa America de Futsal in February of this year, ranked first.

Portugal, which won the UEFA European Futsal Championship twice in a row in 2018 and 2022, took second place.

In addition, Spain, which won the FIFA Futsal World Cup in 2000 and 2004, ranked third, and Iran, which won the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Futsal Asian Cup last month, ranked fourth.

It is noteworthy that Kazakhstan and Thailand, which are far from the world's best in 11-player soccer, ranked 8th and 9th, respectively.

On the other hand, Korea, which has not achieved any significant results in international competitions, is ranked 70th. Korean futsal has no experience participating in the World Cup yet. In the AFC Futsal Asian Cup, second place in 1999 is the best result. In the 2024 Futsal Asian Cup, they were eliminated in the group stage. 사설토토
