The Zambia national team has remained static on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World rankings at 60th in the world and 10th in Africa.
The games against Lesotho and Sudan in the World Cup qualifiers were under consideration for the rankings but the win and draw were of little consequence as the Chipolopolo Boys did not move on the ladder.
However, Zambia were lip-frogged by Cameroun who moved 20 places up to storm the top 10 in Africa as they now rest on the 8th position.
South Africa has fallen behind Zambia having moved ahead of the African champions during the uly rankings.
Cape Verde has continued its rise on the ladder and now stands at 6th in Africa and 36th in the World.
The top ten in Africa are; 1. Ivory Coast (18); 2. Ghana (24); 3. Mali (32); 4. Algeria (34); 5. Nigeria (35); 6. Cape Verde (36); 7. Burkins Faso (48); 8. Cameroun (51); 9. Tunisia (53); 10. Zambia (60).
