FIFA Rankings: Macedonia drops 4 more spots

FIFAMacedonia fell once again on the latest edition of the FIFA Rankings, this time 4 spots to find itself on the 108th position.

The situation was the same as last month since Macedonia had no matches in that span. So, during this inactive period, points were lost because some older matches got erased. Macedonia lost 12 points to drop four spots. Only 7 games were played by the FIFA members over the past month, all by Caribbean national teams. Best movers were Barbados and Bermuda, who moved up 11 places apiece, while worst mover was Lebanon who dropped 25 places. There’s also one change in the Top 10 with Italy taking over Spain’s spot.

The EURO qualifier against Belarus and the friendly against Australia, both at home near the end of this month, will be a great opportunity for Macedonia to gain points and climb the table.
