THE REPUBLIC OF Ireland women’s national team have moved up one place to 24th in the Fifa Women’s World Rankings.
Eileen Gleeson’s side make the move ahead of the Euro 2025 play-offs later this year, having enjoyed a monumental 3-1 win over France in their group campaign last month.
France drop from second to 10th following that surprise defeat and a disappointing Olympic campaign which concluded with a quarter-final exit. Les Bleues now find themselves in their lowest position since September 2019.
Ireland are one place off their all-time high of 23rd from late 2022.

USA, meanwhile, return to top spot after Emma Hayes’ side won a fifth Olympic gold medal in Paris. World champions Spain drop to third, while European Championship holders England climb one place to second.
Ireland’s next opponents, Georgia, have similarly moved up one spot to 118th. The sides will meet in a two-legged tie in Round One of the play-offs in October.
Should the Girls In Green progress, they will face Wales or Slovakia in Round Two in late November and early December. Wales have jumped two places to 29th, while Slovakia drop one to 51st.
The Ireland men’s team, meanwhile, are 58th in the latest edition of their rankings.

Wouldnt be giving Glesson or some of the players any credit the way they treated Vera Pauw after she qualified ireland for there 1st tournament. They have been poor since she took over and only beat a second string french team who had already qualified.
@zoncolan: Allways one
@Square: Always one what. Actually follow womens league of ireland and national team. Its a well known fact Vera was stabbed in the back by a lot of people in the current irish set up. Stick to watchin the premiership and dont be commenting on a sport who dont watch. How many womens league of ireland matches have you attended.
@zoncolan: Can’t understand how they finished bottom of the group and still qualify for the playoffs. At least in gaa if you finish bottom your out.
@zoncolan: i was at the last women match in cork you dope as i said Allways one
@zoncolan: Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
@Square: As always read the comment. HOW MANY LEAGUE OF IRELAND WOMENS MATCH.
@Sean: How many womens matches did you go to. Ive a season ticket for the womens league of ireland and attend every week, while your sittin on the couch watchin Super Sunday.
@zoncolan: I can comment on all sports as well stop being negitive IVE WATCHED PLENTY MATCHES
@Square: Didnt answer the question again.
@zoncolan: Not interesting in going watching women play in loi and like millions we watch premirship deal with it
@zoncolan: I’d have to agree with you on that. If people took off their green white and orange tinted glasses they see exactly as you say as being true. Was very poor how Miss Pauw was treated. If they hadn’t beaten that very weak French team would they have jumped one place? I think not.
On a side note, it’s refreshing that a journalist called the team Gleeson team and not a certain players team
@Square: Dont be commenting on the womens game then. Stick to watchin your buddies across the water. Ill be attending the womens cup final in tallaght this weekend but you probably didnt even know it was on. Enjoy sittin on your backside tomorrow morning while other people go out and support the local game.
@v5OTKkXN: Thanks for your support Jed. Your last comment is spot on as well. It takes 11 players to make a team.
@zoncolan: square is not an Irishman. He’s a scouser over across the Mersey.
@zoncolan: Sure he can’t go anywhere at the moment, his quad drupples are at him!!
@zoncolan: As i said i can comment on all sports i dont need to be at the events just like paris olympics and many sports you dont decide what i do and why u keep bringing up premirship sometimes i watch sometimes i dont get it
@v5OTKkXN: So every irish man who supports liverpool is a scouser what a plonker you are
@zoncolan: Off course ye support one another and ridge ray as well im happy to be on my own byeeeeee
@Square: lol. Did I hit a nerve Square?
@Square: Hi 90 degrees. “Don’t go, don’t leave me now now now”!!.
@v5OTKkXN: im.off my meds so you did
@Ray Ridge: flowers house hot
@Square: You called me negative because i go to all the games and you go to one match on your doorstep. Get real bud. If i was negative about the womens game why do i go every week.
@Square: Something like that.
@Square: kudos mr Square, though being med free in this day and age
@zoncolan: you go because you’re a hero. Well done hero. Are you happy now
