The calculation included the scoreless draw against Malaysia at the Shah Alam Stadium on June 1, but not the 2-2 draw against Indonesia at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on June 5. The PHI-IDN result will be incorporated onto the July rankings to be released on July 4, alongside the upcoming friendly against Guam at the Panaad Stadium in Bacolod on June 12.

In the regional aspect, the Philippines maintains its position as the third in ranking the ASEAN nations, behind 98th ranked Vietnam (in a tie with Togo) and 136th-ranked Thailand. Indoesia is in fourth, while reigning AFF Suzuki Cup champions Malaysia are in fifth at 154th.

Reigning European and World Cup champions Spain remains the top-ranked team in the world, securing three victories in their preparation for the upcoming defense of their Euro title this weekend. Uruguay and Germany exchanged places in the top three, reflected by Die Mannschaft's surprise 5-3 defeat to Switzerland.
