World champions France have moved up to No. 1, followed by Belgium and Brazil.
Poland disappointed fans after failing to advance to the knockout phase of the recent World Cup in Russia. The squad lost 1-2 to Senegal and 0-3 to Colombia in the group stage.
The Poles won their final game, beating Japan 1-0, but finished bottom of their Group H.
Following their early exit from the tournament, Jerzy Brzęczek took over as Poland manager, replacing Adam Nawałka.
Last year Poland climbed to No. 5 in the FIFA table -- the best result for the Polish team since the world football governing body’s ranking was launched in 1992.
Poland's lowest place was 78th, in 2013.
