England have moved up six places to sixth in the latest FIFA world rankings after their run to the World Cup semi-finals in Russia recently.
It is their highest position since they were fourth in March 2013.
World Cup winners France rise six places to top the rankings, ahead of Belgium, Brazil and Croatia, while Germany fall from first to 15th place after a disappointing world cup campaign in Russia.
South Africa (Bafana Bafana) remain outside the top 50, currently ranked at 74th, neither moving up or down in their current position.
