Nepal goes one place up in FIFA World Ranking

Nepalmountainnews Report | 7 Jul 2008

Nepal has moved one position up in the recently announced FIFA ranking despite having 3 wins and 2 losses in five international matches played last month.

Nepal reached to 177th position with 66 points. Nepal defeated Cambodia and Macau in the AFC Challenge Cup Qualifiers and won against Pakistan in SAFF Championship but lost to India and Maldives.football-nepal-oman.jpg

From South Asian Region, India still leads in the recently announced FIFA ranking but with no increase or decrease in their position. India is at world's 153rd and Asia's 25th while Maldives lies at 156th and 27th position.

Maldives had beaten India 1-0 in the final of recently ended SAFF championship and earned three positions and 13 points in the ranking compared to that of June 2008.

Not surprisingly enough, Bhutan has the best achievement compared to June with a six position jump and 21 point increment. Similarly, Pakistan dropped 9 positions in the ranking.

Behind Maldives lies Sri Lanka at 161st (Asia's 29th), Pakistan at 169th (32nd), Nepal at 177th (36th), Afghanistan at 181 (37th), Bangladesh at 182nd (38th) and Bhutan at 190th (42nd).

A total of 46 countries are listed from Asia.
