India Drop Two Spots To 106th In FIFA Rankings

The Indian football team dropped two places to 106^th position in the latest FIFA rankings issued on Thursday.

The downward slid came following the Blue Tigers’ 1-1 draw against lower-ranked Bangladesh in the FIFA World Cup qualifier earlier this month.

The draw against Bangladesh came after India’s impressive 0-0 stalemate against Asian champions Qatar in September.

Bangladesh, however, benefitted from the draw, jumping three rungs to 184^th spot.

Belgium has managed to hold on to the top spot, followed by France and Brazil.

Top-ten rivals Uruguay (5^th, up 1), Croatia (7^th, up 1), Argentina (9^th, up 1) have edged closer to the summit, according to the FIFA website.

England are placed fourth ahead of Uruguay, Portugal, Croatia, Spain, Argentina and Colombia.
