After the fiasco in Italy – the Lithuanian national team’s fall in the FIBA ranking

The latest FIBA rankings show several notable shifts, although the structure of the top five positions remains stable. The United States maintains its standing in first place, followed by Germany in second, Serbia in third, France in fourth, and Canada holding the fifth spot. These top five nations experienced no changes in their ranking place.

Further down the rankings, Spain advanced to sixth place, having moved up from seventh. Consequently, Australia fell to the seventh place. In other notable movements, Lithuania, previously ranked ninth, dropped to tenth place.

This movement allowed Brazil to claim the ninth place, a position they have not occupied since 2016. Among the broader shifts, one of the 20 best teams saw an improvement. Latvia successfully advanced from thirteenth place to twelfth place, thereby overtaking Greece.

Greece has not held the twelfth place in the rankings since 2016. These subtle changes indicate continued competition across the board, demonstrating that while the leaders remain firmly established, there are ongoing fluctuations in the standings. The overall picture suggests a dynamic period for global basketball rankings, with several teams adjusting their placement in response to recent performance.
