Three places dropped Macedonia on the newest FIFA World ranking list for June, published today.

Another quite an inactive period as only 10 games were played since the last rankings with most of them in the last few days. Some national teams already started the preparations for the June qualifiers, while Macedonia will a friendly on the 5th and later a qualifier, so these matches will affect the next rankings. Macedonia dropped 3 places because of losing 7 points that were deducted because some old results were erased.

Our next opponents, Turkey and Spain, also did not record any significant change. Turkey dropped 3 places and is now 25th, while stayed 10th but now sharing the place with Poland who for the first time got in the top 10.

Biggest mover is New Zealand who climbed 17 places, while Mauritania dropped 13 ranks. Benin featured in 3 of the 10 games played in this period.
