La Roja have now held the top spot since September 2011. International football stadia have continued to see little activity before the final round of friendlies ahead of the 2014 FIFA World Cup Brazil, and the May edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking reflects the results of just 13 new matches. No fewer than 143 teams have retained their April ranking. There has been some notable movement in the top ten, however, with Brazil climbing two places to fourth to lead the pack of four South American teams ahead of Colombia (5th, down 1), Uruguay (6th, down 1) and Argentina (7th, down 1). It is Brazil’s best position on the global ladder since July 2011. Meanwhile, Honduras (30th, up 2) is celebrating a return to the top 30 after an absence of 12 years. The biggest climb, however, has been achieved by Mauritania from north-west Africa (139th, up 13), thanks to two wins in CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on 5 June 2014.
