Following the men’s senior national team’s return to international action earlier this month, New Zealand have climbed 10 places on the FIFA ranking, the joint biggest move with Indonesia. 

The back-to-back wins over Bahrain and Curaçao have seen New Zealand move up to 111^th position after not playing for nearly 700 days due to COVID-19. 

The All Whites will be looking to hopefully continue up the ladder with future games to be announced soon.
