ZURICH — Canada’s women’s soccer team moved up one place to ninth in the FIFA rankings released Tuesday after a two-win showing at the recent FIFA Series in Brazil.
The Canadians opened with a 4-0 win over Zambia on April 11 and a 3-1 win over South Korea on April 15 before closing with a 1-0 loss to seventh-ranked Brazil on Saturday.
Those results were enough to move Canada up one spot, with the Netherlands rising to 10th just behind them and Korea DPR dropping out of the top tier to 11th.
At the top, Spain held No. 1, the United States stayed second, and England climbed to third after beating Spain, pushing Germany down to fourth.
