Zambia has moved three places up the FIFA Rankings released today by World football’s governing body.
Chipolopolo moved from 82nd in February to 79th on April 4 in this year’s second rankings posted by FIFA after last week’s international match break.
Zambia’s upward movement come in the wake of their 4-1 home win over Namibia in their closing match of the 2019 AFCON Group K qualifiers on March 23 in Lusaka.
Chipolopolo are also 17th on the CAF Rankings and second highest placed side from the COSAFA Zone behind South Africa who are 73rd.
Meanwhile, Senegal are Africa’s highest ranked team on the FIFA Rankings at number 23 while Tunisia, Nigeria, Morocco, DR Congo complete the top five in that order.
Tell us when they reach top 10, otherwise we are not interested
How? Those losers! Did Kamanga buy this ranking?
Moving up by two because of reshuffles with teams around them!!
I forgot about these rankings.. they were once such a big deal
All Kamanga haters and Kalutards are disappointed. Had Zambia slipped, they would have come all guns blaring calling for Kalusha to come back
Kalu has brains my friend. Kama Ngandwe is a disaster even before he was born he was a disaster to our football
Kamanga cimona pwi pwi pwi pwi. In his tenure, no OFCON. Awe sure Kalusha come back sir. We love you
Do we need to play high profile friendly games in order to improve our FIFA standings?
One game result should not be the determinant of a nation’s football ranking. Some games are played for formality which may not give a true reflection of the team’s overall performance in the under review.
