The U.S. women’s national team (USWNT) has fallen to fourth in the latest FIFA rankings. It’s the lowest ranking ever for the storied national program.
It comes after the team lost 2-0 to Mexico in the group stage of the Concacaf W Gold Cup. The team rebounded, beating both Canada and Brazil to win the W Gold Cup title.
The team’s previous low had been third in the rankings, which came after their historic round of 16 exit in last summer’s World Cup. The most recent FIFA rankings, released in December, had the USWNT back up to No. 2.
