India climbs to 100th spot in latest FIFA Men’s Football rankings

The Indian men’s national football team has climbed up to the 100th rank on FIFA’s latest world rankings surpassing teams like Lebanon and New Zealand to achieve the feat. This is after five years that the Indian men’s football team entered the top 100 club after slipping away from the 96th position in 2018. The Indian men’s football team reached the 100th rank with a total points of 1204.90. This is the fourth best ranking achieved by the Indian men’s football team in the history. The team’s rank came up to 94th rank in 1996, 99th in 1993 and 96th rank in 2017 to 2018.

Pakistan is ranked 201, among the last teams in the FIFA rankings. Other South Asian football teams are also way below India like Sri Lanka is ranked 207, Bangladesh at 192, and Nepal at 175. India will be hoping to continue their dominance over the SAFF in the semi-finals which will be played in Bengaluru. Since 1993, India has entered all finals of the tournament except in 2003. The Indian men’s football team has won the championship record 8 times and is doing exceptionally well in the search for their 9th title.
