Another jump for Macedonia who is now 76th at the FIFA world ranking list for November.

The 2:0 win over Norway in the lone friendly game played earlier this month allowed Macedonia to climb even more on the official world ranking. After being 85th last month, the Lynx jumped 9 places and are now 76th among a munch better company than few months ago.

Macedonia gained 36 points more than last month. What is important is that now our ranking among the UEFA members is much improved. From 55 member associations, Macedonia is 36th.
