FIFA Rankings: Croatia retains spot, two teams tied at No.1 for first time

(HNS)

Croatia has remained in 4th spot on the FIFA Rankings released on Thursday despite a heavy loss to Spain last week. 

Croatia’s 6-0 loss in Elche in their UEFA Nations League opener has not affected their position on FIFA’s Rankings which sees two teams in number one spot for the first time. 

Belgium and World Champions France are joint top of the rankings, the first time this has happened in 25 years since the rankings were created.
