Morocco’s women’s national football team has risen four places in the latest FIFA Women’s World Ranking, reaching 62nd globally with 1,402.88 points, according to the most recent update published on April 21, 2026.
The gain marks a continued upward trajectory for the Lionesses of the Atlas, who had previously held the 66th position in the December 2025 ranking with 1,399.54 points. The improvement follows a series of strong performances in recent friendly matches, including victories over Cape Verde and Tanzania, both by 3-0 scores, and a 1-1 draw against Mali in April 2026.
On the African continent, Morocco now ranks fourth, trailing only Nigeria (36th globally), South Africa (58th), and Ghana (59th). Zambia remains fifth in Africa at 64th worldwide, unchanged from the prior ranking.
At the summit of the global standings, Spain retains the top position, followed by the United States in second. England has moved into third place after Germany dropped to fourth, while Japan recorded the most significant gain among the top ten, rising three spots to fifth.
The next FIFA Women’s World Ranking update is scheduled for June 16, 2026, approximately 56 days after the April release.
This progression reflects the team’s ongoing preparation for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, set to take place from July 25 to August 16, 2026. The Lionesses have used recent friendlies to build cohesion and test tactical approaches ahead of the continental tournament.
