The latest FIFA World Ranking shows Japan firmly at the top of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) men's rankings as of September 21, 2023. The Samurai Blue gained an additional 9.24 points, reaching 1,605.2 points – the highest among teams in the region.

Japan previously dethroned Iran from the top spot in December 2022 after reaching the Round of 16 at the 2022 World Cup. Their current top ranking follows friendly match victories against Germany and Turkey in September.

Iran is in second place, experiencing a decrease of 12.88 points, resulting in a total of 1,551.73 points. This is attributed to Team Melli's failure to qualify for the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup.

South Korea holds third place, followed by Australia in fourth and Saudi Arabia in fifth.

Unfortunately, no Southeast Asian representatives are among the top 10 Asian teams in the FIFA rankings, including Indonesia.

Despite this, Indonesia climbed three positions to 147th globally and 27th in Asia as of September 21, 2023. The Garuda team gained 5.41 points, reaching 1,052.87 points this month.

Indonesia's 2-0 victory over Turkmenistan in an early September 2023 friendly contributed to this improved FIFA ranking.

Below is a list of the top 10 Asian countries based on FIFA rankings and points as of September 21, 2023:

1. Japan: 1,605.2 points
2. Iran: 1,561.26 points
3. South Korea: 1,533.01 points
4. Australia: 1,531.72 points
5. Saudi Arabia: 1,412.82 points
6. Qatar: 1,395.57 points
7. Iraq: 1,347.38 points
8. United Arab Emirates: 1,342.43 points
9. Oman: 1,334.37 points
10. Uzbekistan: 1,328.35 points
