South Korea won two straight A matches in October

The South Korean men's national soccer team, led by Jürgen Klinsmann, has been ranked 24th by the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), up two spots from last month's ranking of 26th.

FIFA released the FIFA rankings through its official channels on Oct. 26 (local time), with Korea ranked 24th with 1540.35 ranking points. This is a result of the team's winning streak in October's A matches.

Klinsmann's men won their first October A match against Tunisia 4-0 on Oct. 13, followed by a 6-0 victory against Vietnam in their second match on Oct. 17.

After moving up two spots with a 1-1 draw in September's A-Match, South Korea's October A-Match was also a strong showing, with the team moving up two spots in the FIFA rankings.

Among Asian Football Confederation (AFC) nations, they are ranked third. The top spot belongs to Japan, who swept aside Tunisia in their October A match to move up to 18th. Second is Iran, ranked 21st.

South Korea is third, followed by Australia (27th) and Saudi Arabia (57th), rounding out the top AFC nations.

Meanwhile, the top of the FIFA rankings remained unchanged. The top spot goes to Argentina, which won the FIFA World Cup in Qatar, which concluded last year. In second place are France, Brazil, England, and Belgium. 카지노사이트
