FIFA Rankings: India Men Drop Three Places To 124th After World Cup Qualifiers Debacle

By IANS News June 20, 2024 • 19:22 PM View: 353

FIFA World Cup Qualifiers: The Indian men's football team has dropped three places to 124th in the latest FIFA rankings released on Thursday. It has been India's worst finish in the standings since March 9, 2017, when they were placed 132nd. This comes after India's failed campaign in the FIFA World Cup Qualifiers and unceremonious exit of head coach Igor Stimac.

In Asia, India are ranked 22nd, behind the likes of Lebanon, Palestine, and Vietnam.

India failed to qualify for the third round of the Qualifiers after suffering losses against Qatar and Afghanistan.
