Uganda has dropped by a place in the latest FIFA World Rankings released on Wednesday, April 7.

This, comes after the Cranes failed to qualify to Africa Cup of Nations in the concluded qualifiers last month.

Then, Uganda were held at home by Burkina Faso and needing a point to Malawi, they lost 1-0 in Blantyre to miss a ticket to AFCON in Cameroon due next year.

Per the new rankings, Uganda are now 84th, a place below lesser known Haiti, and are 17th on the African continent.

For their heroics, Malawi have moved eight places to 115th having improved by 8 ranking points to make a considerable progress.

Uganda’s opponents in the forthcoming World Cup Qualifiers, Kenya moved two places to 102, Rwanda rose four places to 129 while Mali dropped three places to 57th.

The biggest mover has been Guinea Bissau after climbing 11 places to 108 while Namibia rose 10 places to 111.
