FIFA has awarded Morocco an additional +18.02 points in the latest world rankings following the decision by Confederation of African Football (CAF) regarding the controversial incident during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations final against Senegal.

The ruling by CAF led to an adjustment in the ranking calculations, with Morocco benefiting significantly from the outcome. The North African side have now climbed closer to the elite group in world football.

With the added points, Morocco now sit just 1.68 points behind Netherlands, who currently occupy 7th place in the global rankings.

The development highlights Morocco’s continued rise on the international stage after a series of strong performances in recent years. Should they maintain their momentum in upcoming international fixtures, the Atlas Lions could soon break into the top seven teams in the world, marking another milestone for African football.

Morocco remain one of the highest-ranked African nations and continue to strengthen their reputation as a global football powerhouse.
