Pakistan Women Football Team Climbs FIFA Rankings After Strong Performances
The Pakistan women football team has been rewarded for its impressive recent form with a significant rise in the latest FIFA world rankings. After a strong showing in international fixtures, the team has climbed three spots, moving from 157th to 154th, achieving its highest ranking in years.
Pakistan Women Football Breaks 1000-Point Barrier
For the first time in history, the Pakistan women football team has surpassed 1000 points in the FIFA ranking system. The current total stands at 1007.24 points, a remarkable jump of nearly 57 points from its previous tally of 950.27.
This rise is not just numerical; it reflects the hard-earned progress, commitment, and resilience of a squad that has faced years of institutional neglect and limited support.
Wins Against Indonesia and Kyrgyzstan Boost Rankings
The ranking improvement follows crucial victories in the AFC Asian qualifiers, where Pakistan defeated Indonesia and Kyrgyzstan. These wins not only restored confidence but also proved that the team can compete with stronger Asian sides, despite a difficult past.
The team’s cohesion, discipline, and tactical improvement have become increasingly visible in recent outings.
Adeel Rizki’s Impact as Head Coach
Under the leadership of Adeel Rizki, the national women’s side has started to shed its underdog status. Once unranked as recently as 2021 due to prolonged inactivity, the team is now making steady progress in Asia’s lower competitive tiers.
The head coach has focused on building a united and determined squad, creating a pathway for consistent development.
154th Place: A Modest But Meaningful Step
Though the Pakistan women football team’s 154th position may seem modest globally, it is a huge leap forward considering the setbacks faced in recent years. It paves the way for more competitive fixtures, exposure, and possibly regional tournaments.
This breakthrough reflects a shift in momentum — both on and off the pitch — as the team attracts more recognition and international attention.
Looking Ahead: A Promising Future
Breaking the 1000-point barrier symbolizes a turning point. Despite facing limited resources and the aftermath of administrative turmoil in the Pakistan Football Federation, the women football squad continues to rise.
Final Thoughts
The latest FIFA rankings update sends a clear message: Pakistan women football is back on the map. With strong performances, effective coaching, and growing support, the journey from obscurity to opportunity has begun — and it’s only going up from here.
