Peruvian national team
The Peruvian national team did not move in the FIFA ranking. The Blanquirroja maintained their position and continue to be one of the standout teams in this classification.
Peru started the year as they ended it, in 11th place in the FIFA ranking. The national team has 1128 points, coming close to the top ten, where Chile is 10th despite not qualifying for the 2018 Russia World Cup.
After qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, in the playoff against New Zealand, the Peruvian national team did not play again in 2017. Only in March, with the new FIFA date, will the Blanquirroja have activity.
Germany remains at the top of the FIFA ranking and Spain is sixth, in the first classification of the year, something logical when only twenty-two matches have been played and all of them have been friendly.

The first change that is noticed is Iceland, Argentina's opponent in the World Cup in Russia, which rises two places and enters the top twenty.
Taiwan (134), Lebanon (84) and Palestine (75) achieve their best ranking ever.
The next update of the FIFA world ranking will be published on February 15th.
