Prior to the friendly of the Argentine team against Curaçao, it was confirmed that the world champion will become the leader of the FIFA ranking, in the new update. After winning the title in Qatar, the Albiceleste will surpass Brazil. Now, the position that France will occupy is also revealed, the team that lost the World Cup final against Lionel Messi and company.

The journalist Gastón Edul announced that Argentina will go on to lead the FIFA ranking, after having won the World Cup in Qatar and for starting the first friendlies after the competition held in the Middle East on the right foot. In this way, the team led by Lionel Scaloni will surpass Brazil.

For its part, France, who lost the World Cup final in Qatar against Argentina in a penalty shootout, will remain in third position. The 'bleus' now focus on qualifying for the next European Championship and started on the right foot by beating the Netherlands 4-0. Kylian Mbappé's team will seek their revenge in the Old Continent tournament, since they failed in the previous edition when they were eliminated from the round of 16 by Switzerland.

When will the Argentine team play the next friendlies?

After the verification against Curaçao, the Argentine teams will return to their respective clubs and will see each other again in June, when the next FIFA friendlies will take place before the start of the South American Qualifiers. AFA is working on confirming the next rivals of the world champion and it transpired that China and Bangladesh will face the Albiceleste. However, the United States would have extended an invitation and hopes to have a positive response.
