Zambia have jumped ten places on the latest FIFA rankings released today.
After a ten month spent in free-fall, Zambia leap from 88th to 78th in the World.
Zambia’s recovery is thanks to the results in their last two Africa Cup Group F qualifiers after rebounding to draw 0-0 away and winning 3-0 at home in their October doubleheader against Niger.
Zambia, though, remain 20th in Africa and continue to be upstaged in Group F by Cape Verde who rise eight places to 33rd in the World and are fourth on the CAF rankings.
Mozambique who are the only unbeaten side in Group F have also made big gains on the FIFA rankings rising 12 places to 97th.
Zambia and Mozambique, who are tied on five points, meet in their penultimate Group F qualifier away on November 15 in Maputo.
Bottom placed Niger who are out of the 2015 AFCON qualifying race drop 14 places to 121.
Meanwhile, the African top five looks like this: Algeria are 15th, Cote d’Ivoire are 25th, Tunisia are 31st, Cape Verde are 35th, Ghana 35th.
Egypt (38th), Cameroon (40th), Senegal (41st) Nigeria (42)and Togo (52) complete the top ten in that order.
The next rankings will be released on November 27.
Who cares?

@MM kekekekek what a response…. Kikikikiki, be more kind, she is a woman.
Eka puba aka people are voting for?
MM gets the best comment of the week. A very sharp and deadly blow, such that olo umuntu lishilu ku’umfwa aikala na ziiii.
Ba Red Square people? What people? Only nincompoomps would vote for such trash
@MM: Kekekekekekeke!!! That’s a classic reply! Thumbs up!
LT its not correct that Mozambique haven’t lost any game in these qualifiers. What was their scoreline in CAPE Verde?
In Cape Verde, Mozambique was hammered 1-0 by Cape Verde.
LT, is it a typing error to have two countries at 35th position ( Cape Verde and Ghana) or that is the state of affairs?
You are the one with the ‘reading’ error.
LT says Cape Verde is on the 33rd position, not 35th.
Let’s be serious. ..there is absolutely nothing to proud of here! !
Imwe ma reporter stop lying. The movement couldn’t have been because of the games against Niger. Niger are ranked 121 as compared to Zambia 78 so beating such a team earns you very minute points
