The newest FIFA World Ranking list saw Macedonia in the 98th position, finally getting back into the top 100. Macedonia moved up without playing a game over the past month thanks to other national teams losing points.
Macedonia is once again in the top 100 on the FIFA ranking list for the month of April. It’s not something that should make the Macedonians proud, but at least the ranking is moving in the right direction . Regardless, Macedonia remains the worst ranked national team in the Balkans, just two spots lower than Bulgaria this time, and one of the worst in Europe.
