The Selection continues its unstoppable course. La Roja has risen again in the FIFA ranking and is now in 7th place, ahead of teams like England or Brazil. History of the Spanish team, since it is the first time that it has come so far in said classification. A few months ago the arrival of Spain in the Top-10 was celebrated. Now he has climbed two since the last one and already occupies seventh place.
Jorge Vilda’s team climbs steps in record time. The performances and numbers of La Roja continue to surprise the world. They have not lost a game since March 8, 2020, against the United States in the SheBelieves Cup. And it was by the minimum (1-0). Since then he has not known defeat in 19 matches. Of these, 17 have been settled with victory. Two with draws, against Germany and England in the Arnold Clark Cup.
And it is that this team currently has a dream squad. In the first place, because it can boast of having the current Golden Ball Alexia Putellas in its ranks. And three other nominees for this award: Jenni Hermoso, Sandra Paños and Irene Paredes.

If we limit this ranking to the UEFA zone, the Spanish are the fifth selection.
