Pakistan Women’s Football Team Achieves Best-Ever FIFA Ranking
The Pakistan women’s national football team has achieved a significant milestone in the latest FIFA Women’s World Rankings, climbing three places to reach 154th position, their highest ranking in recent years.
This progress reflects the team’s improved performances on the pitch and growing momentum under the leadership of head coach Adeel Rizki.
🔹 First Time Crossing 1000 Points
In addition to the jump in rankings, Pakistan has also crossed the 1000-point mark in the FIFA rankings for the first time ever. The team now holds 1007.24 points, a remarkable increase of nearly 57 points from their previous total of 950.27.
🔹 Impressive Wins in Asian Qualifiers
This rise follows Pakistan’s recent victories over Indonesia and Kyrgyzstan in the Asian qualifiers, results that not only boosted rankings but also showcased the team’s growing skill, unity, and confidence.
🔹 From Inactivity to Progress
The achievement is even more notable considering that Pakistan was unranked as recently as 2021 due to prolonged inactivity. Since then, the team has made steady progress, despite facing challenges related to funding and governance issues in the local football system.
🔹 Looking Ahead
While 154th may seem modest on the global scale, the improvement is a positive step forward for women’s football in Pakistan. The higher ranking opens doors for more international fixtures, greater visibility, and potential support from sponsors and football organizations.
This breakthrough is a testament to the players’ dedication and the coaching staff’s commitment, proving that with continued support, Pakistan women’s football has a bright future ahead.
