Belgium move to No. 1 in FIFA rankings for the first time

 

Belgium moved to the top of the FIFA world ranking list for the first time on Thursday Nov 05,2015 after overtaking Argentina and world champions Germany following their victories in last month's European qualifiers.

Chile moved up four places to fifth to also reach their highest position, while Austria improved one place to a best ever tenth place.

Belgium, who were third last month, beat Andorra 4-1 and Israel 3-1 in their final two Euro 2016 qualifiers to seal their place in next year's finals in France as Group B winners.

Argentina, who were top, slipped back to third while Germany stayed in second place.
