A small taste of revenge from 2022 ahead of the 2026 World Cup. The French national team sent a strong message by defeating Carlo Ancelotti’s Brazil in Foxborough. This victory allows Les Bleus to reclaim second place in the FIFA rankings, just ahead of Argentina.
The revenge has already begun: France retakes the No. 2 spot from Argentina in the FIFA rankings. This nod to the lost 2022 final against La Albiceleste gives a special flavor to the win. While not a direct rematch, it symbolizes a return to the top level for Didier Deschamps’ men, less than two years before the 2026 World Cup.

At the same time, Brazil drops to sixth place, overtaken by Portugal and England. Spain remains firmly at the top, while Morocco and Belgium complete the top 10, just ahead of Germany.
Beyond the rankings, it is the momentum that stands out. Solid, efficient, and already well-organized, Les Bleus appear to have learned from 2022. A promising sign as they approach a wide-open 2026 World Cup—and a subtle warning to Argentina, once again expected to be France’s main rival in the tournament.
