Continental titles and World Cup qualifiers have seen a shake-up since the previous March announcement.

Australia sits in eighth, which has seen them go down by two spots, but one of the biggest changes has been long-time rivals Japan.

After they dropped out of the top ten for the first time in over a decade three months ago, Japan has gone up by five spots and sit in sixth after lifting the AFC Women’s Asian Cup.

The USA remains in the number one position but Sweden have dropped out of the top ten and sit in 11th.

Brazil, who the Matildas beat in two friendlies at the end of 2017, enjoyed a boost from lifting the Copa América Femenina and have risen to seventh.

There has been a reshuffle in the top five with Germany and France rounding out the top three while England and Canada slipped.
