Wales climb up to ninth in FIFA world rankings

England and Wales climb one spot in the latest FIFA rankings to eighth and ninth respectively.

Wales have continued their rise up the FIFA world rankings by moving up one place into a new high of ninth.

The Dragons now find themselves above the Netherlands and remain one spot behind England, who themselves climb one spot.

Elsewhere, Scotland are down three places to 32nd, while fellow home nation Northern Ireland occupy 40th - a drop of three.

World Cup finalists Argentina keep hold of top spot, meanwhile, with Belgium taking second and Germany in third.

Wales are expected to climb above England in next month's rankings update, without even kicking a ball.
