Indian football team gets its best ranking till date

  • The Indian football team achieved its best FIFA ranking in over six years when the side jumped 11 places to be 137th in the latest list released.
  • India, which defeated 114thranked Puerto Rico in an international friendly in Mumbai in September, garnered 230 points for the month.
  • In August 2010, India was ranked 137th which stayed India’s best ever FIFA ranking since then.
  • National Coach Stephen Constantine sounded delighted but wasn’t willing to read too much into it.
  • “But this is just the beginning of the long-term plan we have for Indian football. I am certainly not over the moon as I feel my team can achieve much more,” he said.
