Canada ranked 13th on FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking

Canada’s women’s national team is the 13th ranked country on the FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking. Canada, whose title partner is Winners and whose presenting partner is Teck, remains the second-ranked team within CONCACAF behind the world’s number-one ranked nation, USA.



The FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Rankings looks at each country’s international results from the last four years. The ranking takes into account the result, the importance of the match, the strength of the opponent, the regional strength, the time period, and the number of matches per year.



Canada picked up one point between the last two rankings after concluding its 2009 series against USA. Canada lost 0:1 to USA in back-to-back matches in Rochester, NY (19 July) and Charleston, SC (22 July). Canada and USA did not play any other games in the ranking window because their stars were participating in the inaugural Women’s Professional Soccer season.



While USA continues to rank first, the rest of the table was affected by the recent UEFA Women’s World Championship. Champion Germany moved up into second place while runner-up England moved into eighth place. Italy, who reached the quarter-final stage, switched places with Canada as it moved from 13th to 11th place.
