The Indian national team moved up three spots in the latest edition of the FIFA World Ranking to secure a Top 100 spot. India is now ranked 99th in the world along with Libya and 13th in Asia.

There were no changes to the Top 5 of the FIFA World Ranking, as World Champions Germany keep their position on top. Brazil (2nd), Portugal (3rd), Argentina (4th) and Belgium (5th) follow, while Poland (6th, up one) are the only movers in the Top 20, having climbed into joint-sixth position alongside Spain.

The next FIFA World Ranking will be published on April 12, 2018.
