Gambia down again in FIFA ranking

Senior National Team

Gambia slipped off further down by two places on FIFA, according to the world soccer governing body’s monthly country-rating release. One method used to gauge performance is based on competition activeness on international level but the Scorpions yet again fell short of making a new climb after a succession of dismal runs. Condemned to the base of the World Cup qualifier group bossed by Cote d’voire in C, Scorpions fans will have trouble downing on these seemingly heart-wrenching result.

 Gambia is ranked 146 –four places above football unknowns Hong Kong – and rating 40^th in Africa. In the continent, Mancini and men are ten places from bottom place occupants Djibouti who are 54^th.

Gambia group toppers Cote d’Voire continue to lead the series at Caf level with Ghana’s Black stars second, Mali third, Nations Cup winners Nigeria fourth and Algeria’s desert Foxes 5^th. Senegal is 28^th three above Guinea Conakry in Caf and 88^th in the world while Sierra Leone dropped by four footings but still maintains an impressive 14^th place in the continent and 67^th in the globe. Spain lead the way on top on 1538 points with Germany second, Argentina 3^rd, Croatia 4^th and Portugal as 5^th.
