Another inactive period for Macedonia in which the Lynx dropped a place due to the loss of 5 points which were lost due to events in the past that got erased.
Our opponents in the friendlies later this months also went down. Finland dropped two places and in now 68th, while Azerbaijan recorded the biggest fall this period by going down 8 places. They currently lie 127th. These friendlies are a good chance for Macedonia to improve its ranking.
