FIFA Rankings: Lowest than ever!

166th place for Macedonia for March 2017, the lowest place ever on the FIFA world ranking list.

The Macedonian national team desperately awaits for the WC qualifier against Liechtenstein to finally record a win and climb some places on the FIFA ranking list as this way without playing friendlies and only losing the qualifiers we go down and down.
