Despite having qualified for the semi-finals of the Nations League A, beating Denmark in the quarter-finals, and the Dutch having been eliminated by Spain, Portugal fell one position in the FIFA hierarchy, in contrast to the Netherlands.

The other change in the top 10 happened on the podium, with Spain moving up to second place, relegating France to third, ahead of England (fourth) and Brazil (fifth), while Belgium (eighth), Italy (ninth) and Germany (tenth) maintained their previous positions.
