As the summer international football season concludes and we bid farewell to major tournaments like the 2025 UEFA Women`s Euro, Women`s Afcon, and Copa América Femenina, attention is now turning to the highly anticipated 2027 FIFA Women`s World Cup. This premier women`s tournament is scheduled to be held in Brazil, and some national teams have already secured their places in the qualifying rounds, which will commence later this year and run until 2026.
England showcased their dominance in Europe by winning their second consecutive Euro title in 2025 after an impressive comeback, while 2023 World Cup champions Spain finished as runners-up. The Euros were packed with thrilling group stage matches, featuring numerous goals, and intense knockout rounds that included extra time and penalty shootouts. The final itself was decided by Chloe Kelly`s title-winning penalty. Meanwhile, the U.S. Women`s National Team ended their summer season early with a strong five-game winning streak, securing victories against Canada, Ireland, Jamaica, and China.
While the United States, England, and Spain are widely expected to form a «big three» in women`s global football, it`s worth noting that any team can rise to challenge the top contenders. Nigeria, for instance, reasserted its position as Africa`s top team by claiming their 10th Women`s Afcon title over Morocco. Brazil has automatically qualified for the 2027 World Cup as the host nation, but they are still aiming for another Copa América championship. However, teams like Uruguay, Colombia, and Argentina are looking to disrupt Brazil`s ambitions.
With the 2027 World Cup still 23 months away, top national teams are already deep into preparations for their journey to Brazil. But based on their current form, where do they stand in the rankings?

Current Power Rankings:
1. USWNT
The U.S. Women`s National Team, recent gold medalists at the 2024 Olympics, has demonstrated its impressive depth throughout the first half of the year. Under Head Coach Emma Hayes, the program has successfully broadened its player pool and refined its team identity by prioritizing player development and long-term objectives. The USWNT has regained its global prominence, solidifying its status as the gold standard for performance, attacking power, and now, tactical excellence.
2. England
England`s remarkable efforts in building upon their program`s legacy are undeniable. Achieving back-to-back Euro championships is an extraordinary accomplishment for most teams, but the Lionesses proved it`s possible. Under manager Sarina Wiegman, they exhibited incredible resilience, even with defender Lucy Bronze playing through a fractured tibia—a reminder that glory often comes with a price.
3. Spain
Despite finishing as runners-up in the Euro after their 2023 World Cup victory, Spain`s technical brilliance was evident throughout their journey to the final, even with the heartbreak of a penalty shootout. They will have another opportunity to make a statement in the upcoming UEFA Nations League. Their Euro performance reiterated their status as a top global side. Their signature possession-based style, led by a midfield of maestros like Aitana BonmatÃ, Alexia Putellas, and Patri Guijarro, ensures they remain an elite team.
4. Brazil
The hosts of the 2027 World Cup are on an upward trajectory, having secured a silver medal at the 2024 Olympics. They were responsible for one of the USWNT`s two losses this year and are currently dominating the Copa América. The team is building momentum for a home World Cup, with Marta`s continued influence inspiring a new generation of players. Manager Arthur Elias has successfully combined their characteristic flair with strong defensive efforts, making them a formidable competitor.
5. Germany
Germany faced numerous challenges during the Euros, yet their strong pedigree remains. They managed to reach the semifinals thanks to exceptional goalkeeping by Ann-Katrin Berger, ultimately falling to eventual runners-up Spain. While Lena Oberdorf is recovering from an ACL injury, players like Jule Brand, Klara Bühl, and Sjoeke Nüsken are crucial talents around whom the program can continue to build.
6. Sweden
Veteran Kosovare Asllani publicly defended her squad against critics and oddsmakers who underestimated Sweden in the Euros. Unfortunately, the team lost a two-goal lead in the quarterfinal against England, which keeps them outside the top five in these rankings. Despite often being a formidable obstacle for other teams, rather than claiming trophies themselves, Sweden remains a tough opponent and a top-ten team, boasting considerable talent in their pipeline, including Rosa Kafaji and Hanna Bennison.
7. Japan
The Nadeshiko handed the USWNT an early loss and won the 2025 SheBelieves Cup earlier this year. Their disciplined technical approach with the ball makes them an extremely challenging opponent. Their ability to share attacking responsibilities adds an unpredictable element for defenders. Japan is expected to become even stronger as they continue to integrate younger players alongside their experienced veterans.
8. France
Head Coach Laurent Bonadei made a bold statement with his Euro squad selections, notably leaving out veterans Eugénie Le Sommer and Wendie Renard. Another quarterfinal exit for France will undoubtedly raise more questions about the team`s ability to perform in high-stakes tournaments. Despite having exciting attacking talents like Delphine Cascarino, Marie Antoinette Katoto, and Sandy Baltimore, consistent performance against top teams in knockout rounds continues to elude them.
9. Nigeria
The Super Falcons, a team that caused significant anxiety for England during the 2023 World Cup despite issues with unpaid wages and limited resources, successfully reclaimed the Women`s Afcon title this year. While official, governing body rankings might not place an African nation in the top ten, we cannot overlook Africa`s powerhouse. After missing out on the 2022 Women`s Afcon title, they completed their «Mission X» to secure their tenth championship. One can only imagine what talents like Rasheedat Ajibade, Asisat Oshoala, and Jennifer Echegini could achieve with more systemic support.
10. Canada
This team is currently holding on to the last spot in these rankings. They maintain their position primarily due to the presence of excellent players whose individual talents can decide game outcomes, and the federation`s smart move in hiring a solid coach, Casey Stoney, at the beginning of the year. However, the truth is that Canada has somewhat regressed since their gold medal run at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Stoney openly expressed concerns about the program and players` shortcomings after their 2-0 loss against the USWNT in July, indicating that the roster requires more support to improve moving forward.
Honorable Mentions
Italy
Under Head Coach Andrea Soncin, the Italian squad showed significant progress. They exceeded expectations during the Euro with a combination of tactical intelligence and key players stepping up, eventually exiting in the semifinals against eventual winners England. If they can address defensive lapses and further refine their tactics, they have the potential to break into the top ten.
Colombia
Las Chicas Superpoderosas (The Powerpuff Girls) are not just a nickname; they have truly emerged as legitimate continental contenders for South America. They are currently vying to dethrone Brazil in the Copa América. With key players like Chelsea FC`s Mayra RamÃrez and Real Madrid`s Linda Caicedo, they possess the talent to challenge for the title and potentially enter our rankings.
Netherlands
The Dutch team appears to be a shadow of their 2017 Euro championship-winning squad. The roster struggled in their «group of death» at the Euro, and their early elimination means the federation must make the right coaching hire. They will need to address challenges such as an aging squad and how to rejuvenate the team in preparation for the 2027 World Cup, which will be a full decade after their historic Euro title.

Yozgi xalqaro futbol mavsumi yakunlanib, 2025 yilgi UEFA Ayollar Yevro, Ayollar Afcon va Copa América Femenina kabi yirik turnirlar bilan xayrlashganimizdan so`ng, e`tibor endilikda intiqlik bilan kutilayotgan 2027 yilgi FIFA Ayollar Jahon Chempionatiga qaratilmoqda. Ayollar futbolidagi bu eng yirik turnir Braziliyada bo`lib o`tishi rejalashtirilgan bo`lib, ba`zi milliy jamoalar bu yil oxirida boshlanib, 2026 yilgacha davom etadigan saralash bosqichlarida o`z joylarini allaqachon ta`minlaganlar.
Angliya 2025 yilgi Yevro chempionatida ajoyib qaytishdan so`ng ketma-ket ikkinchi Yevropa chempionligini qo`lga kiritib, Yevropadagi ustunligini namoyish etdi, 2023 yilgi Jahon Chempionati g`olibi Ispaniya esa ikkinchi o`rinni egallashga majbur bo`ldi. Yevro musobaqasi guruh bosqichida son-sanoqsiz gollar va pley-off bosqichida yuqori drama bilan kechdi, qo`shimcha vaqt hamda penaltilar seriyalari, shu jumladan finalda ham, Chloe Kelly chempionlikni hal qiluvchi penaltini kiritdi. Shu bilan birga, AQSH Ayollar Milliy jamoasi yozgi mavsumini beshta o`yindan iborat g`alabali seriya bilan yakunladi, bunda Kanada, Irlandiya, Yamayka va Xitoy ustidan g`alaba qozondi.
AQSH, Angliya va Ispaniya global ayollar futbolida «katta uchlik»ni tashkil etishi kutilayotgan bo`lsa-da, har qanday jamoa yuqori pog`onalarga ko`tarilib, peshqadamlarga qarshi turishi mumkinligini ta`kidlash joiz. Masalan, Nigeriya Marokash ustidan o`zining 10-Ayollar Afcon chempionligini qo`lga kiritib, Afrikaning eng yaxshi jamoasi sifatidagi o`rnini mustahkamladi. Braziliya mezbon davlat sifatida 2027 yilgi Jahon Chempionatiga avtomatik tarzda yo`llanma olgan, ammo ular yana bir Copa América chempionligini maqsad qilganlar. Biroq, Urugvay, Kolumbiya va Argentina kabi jamoalar Braziliyaning bu ambitsiyalarini buzishga intilmoqda.
2027 yilgi Jahon Chempionatiga hali 23 oy bor bo`lsa-da, eng yaxshi milliy jamoalar Braziliyaga uzoq safar uchun tayyorgarlik ko`rishmoqda. Ammo ularning hozirgi holatiga ko`ra, reytinglarda qayerda turishadi?
Joriy Kuch Reytinglari:
1. AQSH Ayollar Milliy Jamoasi
2024 yilgi Olimpiya o`yinlarida oltin medalni qo`lga kiritgan AQSH Ayollar Milliy jamoasi yilning birinchi yarmida o`zining ajoyib salohiyatini namoyish etdi. Bosh murabbiy Emma Hayes qo`l ostida dastur futbolchi bazasini kengaytirish va jamoa o`ziga xosligini takomillashtirishda, o`yinchilar rivojlanishi va uzoq muddatli maqsadlarga ustuvor ahamiyat berish orqali muvaffaqiyatga erishdi. AQSH Ayollar Milliy jamoasi o`zining global mavqeini qayta tikladi, shu bilan birga ishlash, hujum kuchliligi va hozirda taktik mahorat bo`yicha oltin standart maqomini mustahkamladi.
2. Angliya
Angliyaning o`z dasturining merosini qurishdagi ajoyib sa`y-harakatlarini inkor etib bo`lmaydi. Ketma-ket Yevropa chempionliklarini qo`lga kiritish ko`pchilik jamoalar uchun deyarli imkonsiz yutuq, ammo Lionesslar buni uddalashdi. Murabbiy Sarina Wiegman qo`l ostida ular aqlbovar qilmas matonatni namoyish etishdi, hatto himoyachi Lucy Bronze boldir suyagi singan holda o`ynagan bo`lsa ham – bu sharaf ko`pincha qurbonliklar bilan kelishini eslatadi.
3. Ispaniya
2023 yilgi Jahon Chempionati g`olibligi ortidan Yevro musobaqasida ikkinchi o`rinni egallashganiga qaramay, Ispaniyaning texnik mahorati final yo`lidagi harakatlarida yaqqol namoyon bo`ldi, hatto penaltilar seriyasidagi ko`ngilsizlikka qaramay. Ular bo`lajak UEFA Millatlar Ligasida yana bir bor o`zlarini ko`rsatish imkoniyatiga ega bo`lishadi. Ularning Yevrodagi o`yini yana bir bor ularning dunyoning eng yaxshi jamoalaridan biri ekanligini tasdiqladi. Aitana BonmatÃ, Alexia Putellas va Patri Guijarro kabi yarim himoyadagi ustalar boshchiligidagi to`p nazoratiga asoslangan o`yin uslubi ularning elita jamoa bo`lib qolishini ta`minlaydi.
4. Braziliya
2027 yilgi Jahon Chempionati mezbonlari 2024 yilgi Olimpiya o`yinlarida kumush medalni qo`lga kiritganlaridan so`ng yuksalishda davom etmoqda. Ular shu yili AQSH Ayollar Milliy jamoasiga ikkita mag`lubiyatdan birini berishgan va hozirda Copa América musobaqasida ustunlik qilmoqdalar. Jamoa o`z uyida bo`ladigan Jahon Chempionatiga tayyorgarlik ko`rmoqda, Marta`ning doimiy ta`siri yangi avlod o`yinchilariga ilhom bermoqda. Murabbiy Arthur Elias o`z jamoasining o`ziga xos mahoratini kuchli himoya sa`y-harakatlari bilan muvaffaqiyatli birlashtirib, ularni jiddiy raqibga aylantirdi.
5. Germaniya
Germaniya Yevro davomida ko`plab to`siqlarga duch keldi, ammo ularning kuchli shajaro saqlanib qoldi. Ular Ann-Katrin Bergerning ajoyib darvozabonlik mahorati tufayli yarim finalga chiqa oldilar, oxir-oqibat bo`lajak ikkinchi o`rinni egallagan Ispaniyaga mag`lub bo`lishdi. Lena Oberdorf ACL jarohatidan tuzalayotgan bo`lsa-da, Jule Brand, Klara Bühl va Sjoeke Nüsken kabi o`yinchilar dasturni qurishda muhim iste`dodlar bo`lib qolmoqda.
6. Shvetsiya
Tajribali Kosovare Asllani Yevro davomida Shvetsiyani kam baholagan tanqidchilar va bukmekerlarga qarshi o`z jamoasini ochiqchasiga himoya qildi. Afsuski, jamoa Angliyaga qarshi chorak finalda ikki to`plik ustunlikni boy berdi, bu esa ularni ushbu reytinglarda kuchli beshlikdan tashqarida qoldiradi. Boshqa jamoalar uchun doimiy ravishda jiddiy to`siq bo`lishlariga qaramay, o`zlari sovrin yutmasalar ham, Shvetsiya qattiq raqib bo`lib qoladi va Rosa Kafaji va Hanna Bennison kabi katta iste`dodlarga ega bo`lgan kuchli o`nlik jamoasi hisoblanadi.
7. Yaponiya
Nadeshiko shu yil boshida AQSH Ayollar Milliy jamoasiga erta mag`lubiyatni berdi va 2025 yilgi SheBelieves kubogini qo`lga kiritdi. Ularning to`p bilan intizomli texnik yondashuvi ularni juda qiyin raqibga aylantiradi. Hujum mas`uliyatini bo`lishish qobiliyati himoyachilar uchun kutilmagan element qo`shadi. Yaponiya tajribali faxriylar bilan birga yosh futbolchilarni ko`proq integratsiyalashda davom etar ekan, yanada kuchayishi kutilmoqda.
8. Fransiya
Bosh murabbiy Laurent Bonadei Yevro uchun tarkibni tanlashda jasur bayonot berdi, ayniqsa faxriylar Eugénie Le Sommer va Wendie Renardni tashlab ketdi. Fransiyaning yana bir chorak finaldan chiqishi jamoaning yuqori bosimli turnirlarda o`ynash qobiliyati haqida ko`proq savollar tug`diradi. Delphine Cascarino, Marie Antoinette Katoto va Sandy Baltimore kabi qiziqarli hujum iste`dodlariga ega bo`lishlariga qaramay, pley-off bosqichlarida kuchli jamoalarga qarshi barqaror o`yin ko`rsatish hali ham qiyin bo`lib qolmoqda.
9. Nigeriya
2023 yilgi Jahon Chempionatida Angliyaga katta tashvish va muammolar tug`dirgan, garchi to`lanmagan maoshlar va cheklangan resurslar muammolari bo`lsa-da, Super Falcons bu yil Ayollar Afcon chempionligini muvaffaqiyatli qayta qo`lga kiritdi. Rasmiy, boshqaruv organlari reytinglari ehtimol Afrikalik jamoani kuchli o`nlikka kiritmasligi mumkin, ammo biz Afrikaning qudratli jamoasini e`tibordan chetda qoldira olmaymiz. 2022 yilgi Ayollar Afcon chempionligidan mahrum bo`lganidan so`ng, ular o`zlarining «X missiyasi»ni amalga oshirib, o`ninchi chempionlikni ta`minlashdi. Rasheedat Ajibade, Asisat Oshoala va Jennifer Echegini kabi iste`dodlar ko`proq tizimli qo`llab-quvvatlash bilan nimalarga erisha olishlarini tasavvur qilish qiyin emas.
10. Kanada
Bu jamoa hozirda ushbu reytinglarda so`nggi o`rinda turibdi. Ular asosan o`yin natijalarini hal qila oladigan ajoyib o`yinchilarning mavjudligi va federatsiyaning yil boshida kuchli murabbiy Casey Stoney`ni yollaganligi sababli o`z o`rinlarini saqlab qolishmoqda. Biroq, haqiqat shundaki, Kanada 2020 yilgi Tokio Olimpiya o`yinlaridagi oltin medal sohibligi davridan beri biroz orqaga ketdi. Stoney iyul oyida AQSH Ayollar Milliy jamoasiga qarshi 2:0 hisobidagi mag`lubiyatdan so`ng dastur va o`yinchilarning kamchiliklari haqida ochiqchasiga gapirdi, bu esa jamoaning kelajakda yaxshilanishi uchun ko`proq yordam talab qilishini ko`rsatadi.
Faxrli Eslatmalar
Italiya
Bosh murabbiy Andrea Soncin qo`l ostida Italiya jamoasi sezilarli o`sishni ko`rsatdi. Ular Yevro davomida taktik aqllilik va muhim o`yinchilarning o`zini ko`rsatishi bilan kutilganidan oshib ketdi, yakunda yarim finalda bo`lajak chempion Angliyaga mag`lub bo`ldi. Agar ular himoyadagi xatolarni bartaraf etib, taktikalarini yanada takomillashtira olsalar, kuchli o`nlikka kirish imkoniyatiga ega bo`lishlari mumkin.
Kolumbiya
Las Chicas Superpoderosas (Quvvatli qizlar) shunchaki laqab emas; ular haqiqatan ham Janubiy Amerika uchun qit`aviy darajadagi jiddiy raqiblarga aylanishdi. Ular hozirda Copa América`da Braziliyaning tojini tortib olishga intilmoqda. Chelsea FC`dan Mayra RamÃrez va Real Madrid`dan Linda Caicedo kabi asosiy o`yinchilar bilan ular chempionlik uchun kurashish va reytinglarimizga kirish salohiyatiga ega.
Niderlandiya
Niderlandiya jamoasi 2017 yilgi Yevro chempionligini qo`lga kiritgan jamoasining soyasiga o`xshaydi. Tarkib Yevrodagi «o`lim guruhi» bilan kurashdi va ularning erta chiqib ketishi federatsiya to`g`ri murabbiyni yollashi kerakligini anglatadi. Ular qarigan tarkib va 2027 yilgi Jahon Chempionatiga tayyorgarlik jarayonida jamoani qanday yoshartirish kerakligi kabi muammolarni hal qilishlari lozim, bu ularning tarixiy Yevro chempionligidan roppa-rosa o`n yil o`tgach bo`ladi.
