Uganda The top two nations in the Council for East and Central African Football (CECAFA), Uganda and Ethiopia, have dropped in the latest FIFA world rankings released today.
The regional CECAFA champions Uganda dropped four places to 84th position, while Ethiopia slipped two places to 95th.
Uganda’s drop comes after recent losses to Egypt and Senegal in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers last month.
However, Cranes coach Milutin “Micho’ Sredojevic maintained that he is not worried and promised that Uganda will improve before the year ends.
“We have very many games in the CECAFA Senior Challenge Cup and international friendly games where we shall work hard to be able to improve in the rankings,” added Micho.
Although Uganda and Ethiopia slipped, they remain the top ranked countries in the CECAFA region. Kenya, who will host the Senior Challenge Cup next month, are 118th while Burundi is 121st and Rwanda is 129th. South Sudan remains the lowest ranked CECAFA member at 204th.
Spain remained the highest ranked nation, while Ivory Coast is Africa’s highest ranked nation at 17th.
