FIFA rankings: Inactive Macedonia stays 65th

In the first ranking of 2021 Macedonia did not see any changes on the ranking lists.

Our national team did play a match on Wednesday, but it was a FIFA unofficial as the opponent was a club, Rabotnichki to be more precise. The national team under coach Angelovski was made up of players that are close to the national team or already U21 and U19 national team players.

Anyway, a total of 43 matches were played around the globe since the December rankings, but only few UEFA members were active. That is the reason why the newest FIFA/Coca-Cola World Rankings suffered only minor changes with Mali climbing the most places, 3.
