The Best Current Soccer (Football) Teams
Most soccer playing nations have a domestic league in which teams associated with their home cities vie against each other for the league championship. Players from all over the world can sign on to these teams, although some leagues have rules requiring a minimum number of players from the league’s home country per team.
All national teams are part of FIFA, and they are also part of a regional division. National teams compete within their division in a series of matches to determine rankings. They also compete in national cups, such as the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the UEFA European Football Championship.
