The top of the rankings remains unchanged from the most recent update, on 18 July, with Argentina, the world champion and South American, leading, ahead of France, second, and Spain, which, at the time, just after winning its fourth European title, climbed on to the podium.

England, Brazil, Belgium, the Netherlands, Portugal, which in July had 'fallen' from sixth to eighth place, Colombia, and Italy remain in the top 10 positions in the hierarchy.
