Cameroon National Soccer Team Moves A step Ahead In Fifa World Ranking

The Cameroon national team has registered a significant progress in the July FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking release Thursday July 14.

Based on the ranking, Cameroon that occupied the 58th position last month now stands on the 53rd position after moving up 6 places in the world ranking and 7th in the African map.

The Indomitable Lions now occupy 53rd place in the world rankings and take the 7th place on the African map.

The International Federation of Football Association (FIFA) released this morning 14 July 2016, July ranking. Ranked 58th in June, Cameroon is now behind Algeria (32nd), Côte d’Ivoire (35th), Ghana (36th), Senegal (41), the Egypt (43rd) and Tunisia (45th).

In the world rankings, nothing has moved into the top five made up of Argentina (1), Belgium (2), Colombia (3rd), Germany (4th) and Chile (5th).

Portugal, new European champion gained two places and sixth in the standings. They are followed Euro runners-up France, and integrates the top 10. Spain (-2), Brazil (-2) and Italy (+ 2 ) complete the top 10. Other spectacular comebacks, the Wales of Gareth Bale, semifinalist of Euro gains 15 places in the rankings and ends up 11th spot.

Argentina remain at the summit of the July FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, but only after a tumultuous month of action that resulted in plenty of movement further down.

The impact of three recent major international tournaments – the OFC Nations Cup, Copa America Centenario and UEFA EURO 2016 – is certainly plain to see in a table in which Kosovo are ranked for the first time. A total of 228 ‘A’ internationals contributed to the new order, with those big events in Oceania, Europe and the Americas especially important in propelling nations upwards.

New Zealand emerged as the month’s biggest climbers, moving up a whopping 54 places to 93rd on the back of an OFC Nations Cup victory that both qualified the All Whites for the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and furthered their FIFA World Cup™ qualifying ambitions. Portugal will also be heading to Russia 2017 after their shock EURO 2016 triumph, an achievement that resulted in them leapfrogging Spain and Brazil into sixth position.

There was also some small consolation for France, Portugal’s vanquished final opponents, who were among several teams to profit from impressive EURO campaigns. While Les Bleus climbed ten places to a new position of seventh, Poland rose 11 to 16th and there were 12-place jumps for both Iceland and Croatia, who now sit 22nd and 15th respectively.
