Thursday afternoon despite winning their two
games in the month under review.
The African Champions were adjudged the 35
best football playing team in the world

This fall on the world football log however,
was good enough as they moved up to the
fourth place in with the Eagles of Mali taking
up their previous fifth position after dropping
six places downwards.
Meanwhile Cote d’Ivoire remain at the summit
of African football with 902 points which put
them in the 19 position in the world while
Ghana retain their 24 spot in the world and
second in Africa. Algeria took the third spot on
the continent after amassing 762 points which
places them in the 28 spot in the world.
However, the biggest mover by rank is the
Gambian national team that moved 27 places
on Fifa ranking.
Spain, Argentina and Germany hold the first,
second and third spots in the world
respectively as Fifa Confederations Cup
champions Brazil move to the eight position in
the world.
