Egypt National Team Drops in FIFA Rankings
The new FIFA ranking in December 2025 showed a decline for the Egyptian national team due to its results in the Arab Cup.
The Egyptian national team dropped from 34th to 35th place.
FIFA relied in its latest update of the national team rankings on the results of the recent Arab Cup, considering its matches as "friendly games outside the FIFA calendar."
The Egyptian national team participated in the tournament as the second-string squad and failed to secure any victories in the group stage, drawing twice against both Kuwait and the UAE, and losing to Jordan.
