The Hungarian national team has improved three places to 37th in the International Football Federation (FIFA) world rankings. Brazil is still the leader of the rankings.
Compared to the last ranking, published at the end of March, the Hungarians were able to move up thanks to their victory over fifth-placed England as hosts and then guests in the June group stage of the Nations League, while they drew with Germany at the Puskás Arena, as 168.hu reports.
England retained their previous position, the Germans improved one place, while European champions Italy – who missed out on the World Cup – lost to Hungary and slipped back one place to seventh.
The only change in the podium was that the Argentinians, previously fourth, knocked the defending World Cup champions France down from third.
