The rankings come after a golden summer in which the world champions beat Chile 1-0 in the Confederations Cup final in Saint Petersburg to win the Confederations Cup thanks to a goal from Lars Stindl. Separately, Germany's U-21s also tasted European glory in Poland.

With four games of FIFA World Cup Russia 2018 qualifying to play, Germany have a five-point lead over Northern Ireland at the top of Group C.

The next international fixture for Joachim Löw's side takes place on September 1, a qualifier against the Czech Republic in Prague, followed by another qualifier against Norway three days later in Stuttgart.

FIFA will publish the next World Rankings on August 10.
