Mexico maintains commanding lead
Mexico remains at the summit of the Concacaf Men’s National Team Rankings following the September-October international window, which included Nations League matches and international friendlies.
The Mexicans lead the standings with 2,097 points, comfortably ahead of the United States, which occupies second place with 1,877.
Canada, Panama and Costa Rica retained their positions to complete an unchanged top five. Canada is third with 1,821 points, Panama fourth with 1,655, and Costa Rica fifth with 1,534.

Honduras slips as Guatemala holds position
Honduras experienced one of the more notable declines among the leading teams, falling two places to eighth despite accumulating 1,464 points.
Guatemala remained ninth with 1,446 points, while Curaçao’s rise completed the top 10.
The movement highlights the increasingly competitive nature of the regional rankings, with results across the international window influencing positions among teams separated by relatively narrow margins.
Barbados makes biggest leap

The Barbadians posted a 3-1-0 record to win Group B and qualify for the Nations League B Championship, rewarding a consistent campaign with a significant rise in the regional standings.
