The South Korean national soccer team has climbed two spots in the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) rankings.

South Korea jumped from 26th to 24th in the rankings released by 홀덤사이트 FIFA on Saturday, earning 1540.35 points, an increase of 7.34 points from September's 1533.01 points. The team jumped two spots after moving from 28th to 26th last month.

South Korea won back-to-back games against Tunisia and Vietnam in October's A-Match trials - 4-0 and 6-0 wins, respectively, without conceding a goal. It was their third straight win, dating back to a 1-0 victory over Saudi Arabia in September.

The victory over Tunisia was the first home win since Jürgen Klinsmann took over as head coach in March. Klinsmann now has three wins, three draws and two losses.

South Korea is now ranked third in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), behind Japan (18th) and Iran (21st). Japan, who last appeared in the top 10 for the first time in 11 years and eight months last month, moved back up one spot. Iran and fourth-ranked Australia (27th) stayed the same. Tunisia, which lost to South Korea, dropped from 29th to 32nd. Vietnam climbed from 95th to 94th.

The United Arab Emirates (UAE), coached by Paulo Bento, moved up from 70th to 69th, while Malaysia, coached by Kim Pang Gon, is now 137th and Indonesia, coached by Shin Tae Yong, is now 145th.

Meanwhile, the world's top five nations remained unchanged. Argentina took the top spot, followed by France, Brazil, England, and Belgium. Eighth-ranked Portugal jumped to sixth, followed by the Netherlands at seventh, 10th-ranked Spain at eighth, Italy at ninth, and sixth-ranked Croatia at 10th. Elsewhere, Germany slipped back down the list to 16th, and Uruguay is now 15th.
