India jump 26 places to rise to 147 in FIFA rankings

New Delhi: The Indian football team reaped a rich harvest of a win and a draw against Nepal last month in the 2018 World Cup Qualifiers Round One as it made a huge jump of 26 places to occupy the 147th spot in the latest FIFA rankings issued yesterday.


India beat Nepal 2-0 and drew 0-0 over the two legs on March 12 and 17 respectively to gain 87 average points from the previous month when it was lying at a lowly 173rd among 209 countries.


This was the best ranking for the Indian team in the FIFA charts in nearly a year after its identical 147th in the May 2014 list.
