After finishing as the runner-up in Asia, Indonesia made a significant leap in the global rankings.

The most recent FIFA futsal rankings reveal significant shifts, highlighting Indonesia's strong advancement and reinforcing Southeast Asia’s emerging status in continental futsal.

The newest FIFA futsal rankings show remarkable changes in the global futsal landscape. Brazil continues to assert its number one position with a comfortable point lead, while the competition behind them intensifies, especially with the strong emergence of Asian teams.

At the top tier, Brazil remains the undisputed king of world futsal. Spain, Portugal, and Iran hold steady within the top four, reflecting the long-term stability of leading futsal nations. Notably, Iran continues to be Asia’s flagbearer, maintaining a high FIFA ranking and asserting dominance on the continental stage.

Besides the usual powerhouses, the latest rankings show a clear rise of several Asian teams. Thailand, Japan, and especially Indonesia have made significant point gains, indicating that the gap between Asian futsal and more established regions is gradually narrowing.

Indonesia is the most notable name in the Southeast Asian region. With an impressive streak recently, the team from the archipelago has climbed into the mid-tier of the FIFA rankings, being recognized by experts as the new “giant killer” in world futsal. The rapid rise in their ranking truly reflects improvements in playing quality and competitive resilience.

The upward trajectory in the FIFA rankings is closely tied to Indonesia’s historic journeyat the 2026 Futsal Asian Cup. Reaching the Asian final for the first time and narrowly losing to Iran in a penalty shootout enabled Indonesia not only to claim the runner-up title but also to earn crucial points that improved their global standing.

Therefore, the latest FIFA futsal rankings are more than just numbers; they reflect the shifting power dynamics in world futsal. With Asian teams becoming increasingly competitive, especially Indonesia, Southeast Asian futsal faces a historic opportunity to solidify its position on the international futsal stage.
