New Delhi, July 10 (UNI) The Indian men’s football team has dropped six places to 133rd in the latest FIFA World Rankings released today.
The updated rankings reflect a significant downturn in performance, with India losing 18.81 points since the previous list, falling from 1132.03 to 1113.22.
The rankings update follows recent back-to-back losses in international fixtures, which have adversely impacted India’s standing. This marks India’s lowest position since November 2024, when they were also ranked 133rd.
In contrast, the Central African Republic climbed one spot to 134th, gaining 5.74 points following a draw and a win in their latest outings.
Meanwhile, Guinea-Bissau fell three places to 131st and Congo dropped seven places to 132nd, both suffering point losses.
In the year so far, India’s best rank was 127 in April 2025. The current position equals their worst rank this year. India saw a marginal drop of one spot in April, but July has recorded a steep fall of six positions.
The next FIFA World Rankings update is scheduled for September 18, giving India a 70-day window to regain lost ground through international matches or tournaments.
