December’s FIFA ranking held no surprises for the Guépards. To close out 2025, the Benin side remains firmly in place, without the slightest change, according to the update published this Monday, 22 December by the international body.
Already fixed in the October and November editions, Benin’s rank remains unchanged. Gernot Rohr’s men still occupy 92nd place in the world rankings, reflecting an end of year without international matches likely to reshuffle the standings. On the African continent, the picture is the same: the Guépards retain their status as the 20th nation, firmly installed in the top 20.
This status quo, while showing neither progress nor decline, nevertheless allows Benin to close out the 2025 campaign on a note of stability. A continuity that provides a clear working base for the head coach and his staff, on the eve of major upcoming fixtures. The task now is to turn this consistency into positive momentum to hope to climb the African and world rankings at upcoming international fixtures.
At the global level, Spain kept first place ahead of world champions Argentina. France, England and Brazil complete the world top five. The next men’s FIFA ranking will be published on 19 January 2026.
