Zambia moves up a place on FIFA rankings

Zambia moved up one place to third on the list of Confederation of Southern African Football Association (COSAFA ) nations in the latest FIFA World Rankings released on Wednesday.

Chipolopolo have moved above 2006 FIFA World Cup campaigners Angola, who have slipped to 97th in the world, 28th in Africa and fourth on the list of COSAFA Nations.

South Africa maintain their lead at the top of regional teams (72nd in the world, 17th in Africa), followed by the ever-improving Mozambique (87th, 22nd).

The other big movers have been Zimbabwe, up five places to 101 in the world, 29th in Africa, and Botswana, also up five places to 118th on the global list and 33rd in Africa.
