The Red Flames have retained their 19th place in the new FIFA women's football rankings, published on Friday by the International Football Federation.
World champions, the USA, remain at the top of the rankings, ahead of Germany and Sweden. England and France complete an unchanged top five. Spain move up from 7th to 6th place, swapping places with Canada.
The United States will put their title on the line again this summer at the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand from 20 July to 20 August. A World Cup that the Red Flames will not be taking part in, having been defeated in the play-offs with Portugal in October 2022.
