This was such a forgone conclusion that even FIFA couldn't screw it up: Spain finished No. 1 in the final FIFA rankings of 2010.
The Netherlands, which lost to Spain in July's World Cup final, is second while Germany has moved ahead of Brazil into third since last month.
Argentina and England remain fifth and sixth. Spain has finished No. 1 for the third straight year.
Egypt leads the African nations and climbs one place to No. 9, while the United States tops the CONCACAF region, rising six spots to No. 18.
Australia drops six places to No. 26 but still heads the Asian confederation.
One of the biggest movers over the last year has been Montenegro, which has soared to No. 25 from No. 74.
Russia, which won the right to host the 2018 World Cup earlier this month, stays at No. 13, while 2022 host Qatar drops a place to No. 114.
