The ranking includes all national team matches since December, including Sweden's World Cup qualifiers in the spring.
The draw against Serbia (0–0) and the late loss against Denmark (1–2) cost Sweden ranking positions, major media reports indicate. The exact date of the ranking and the full list of other teams' positions have not been confirmed.
