A FIFA report shows that Japan still dominates the World Ranking, also known as the FIFA ranking, in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) in the men's rankings as of October 26, 2023.

This is the sixth consecutive time the Samurai Blue have topped the FIFA regional ranking in Asia since December 22, 2022, following their advancement to the Round of 16 in the 2022 World Cup.

Since then, the Japanese national team's football performance has remained at the top of the Asian region, even soaring due to increased points.

The Japanese national team has gained an additional 7.79 points, reaching a total of 1,612.99 points—the highest among national teams in the region.

Over the past month, the Japanese national team won two friendly matches: 4-1 against Canada (October 13, 2023) and 2-0 against Tunisia (October 17, 2023).

Iran is ranked second, gaining 6.04 points to reach 1,567.3 points. This is due to Team Melli's victories in two friendly matches: 3-1 against Jordan (October 14, 2023) and 4-0 against Qatar (October 18, 2023).

South Korea, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Uzbekistan follow in ranks 3 to 10, maintaining the same positions as last month.

Meanwhile, Indonesia lags significantly behind Japan and other top national teams in Asia.

The Garuda team is currently ranked 145th globally and 27th in Asia as of October 26, 2023. Shin Tae-yong's squad gained an additional 16.95 points, reaching 1,069.82 points in October 2023.

This month, the Merah Putih team climbed two positions in the FIFA rankings, mainly due to Indonesia's aggregate 12-0 victory against Brunei Darussalam in the first round of the 2026 World Cup Asian Qualifiers on October 12 and 17, 2023.

The following is a list of the top 10 Asian countries based on FIFA ranking points as of October 26, 2023:

1. Japan: 1,612.99 points
2. Iran: 1,567.3 points
3. South Korea: 1,540.35 points
4. Australia: 1,531.25 points
5. Saudi Arabia: 1,408.85 points
6. Qatar: 1,394.16 points
7. Iraq: 1,349.73 points
8. United Arab Emirates: 1,348.87 points
9. Oman: 1,334.37 points
10. Uzbekistan: 1,333.09 points
