Italy have moved up to 13th in the FIFA World Rankings after their 3-1 Nations League victory over France on Thursday evening.
The result lifted the Azzurri two places from 15th, with Germany dropping to 14th and Croatia to 15th.
Italy secured their first home victory over France in 64 years at San Siro. Pio Esposito scored twice, while Davide Frattesi added the other goal to complete a significant win for Luciano Spalletti’s side.
The Azzurri could rise further if they produce another positive result away to Belgium on Sunday evening. Switzerland are currently 12th in the rankings, with Colombia 11th and Mexico 10th.
The next FIFA World Rankings update is scheduled for November 18.
