Despite the inactive period our national team moved up two places to reach the 71st place.

The European national teams were on vacation the past month so all changes on the newest FIFA world ranking list occurred due to the three continental championships that took place. South American Copa America, North American Gold Cup and Africa’s Nation’s Cup all contributed to several changes.

Thanks to some teams placed around Macedonia that lost points, we climbed two places. The Lynx did not gain or lose points, simply just moved up.

Our next matches are in September when we have two road EURO qualifying games against Latvia and Israel.
