The only moves in this statement were motivated by the expiration of points from the 30th Southeast Asian Games in 2019, in which Indonesia lost all its points. As a result, Kenya, American Samoa, Belize and Uganda moved up one spot.
The ranking now has 44 nations.
Japan is in second place with 3,286 and is only 32 points behind Australia, which is at the top with 3,318 points. Both teams led the world in points in 2023, with Japan first (1,436) and Australia second. In four appearances, Japan's breakout year included three titles (U-18 World Cup, U-18 Asia Cup, Senior Asia Cup) and a second-place finish (U-23 World Cup).
Third in 2023 in points was Mexico (993), thanks to a pair of silver medals in the U-18 World Cup and the Central American and Caribbean Games, and a fourth place in the U-23 World Cup. Czechia (936) and Canada (878) closed the top five nations with the most points in 2023.
