In the first FIFA national team ranking of 2012, Lithuania ranks 93rd. Compared to the December ranking, our country has lost one position. Since there were few matches played, the changes were mostly influenced by the revised calculation period. The top ten remains the same: European and world champion Spain is in the lead, followed by Netherlands, Germany, Uruguay, and England. However, Chile moved up to 12th place, surpassing Russia, while Ivory Coast's drop to 18th place was influenced by Switzerland and Sweden. Among the future opponents of the Lithuanian national team in the qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup, Greece holds the highest position (14).
