Chipolopolo move up on FIFA rankings

The Zambia national team has shown some recovery on the FIFA ladder gaining three places to rank 71st from last month’s 74th position.

Coming from a 2 – 1 win over lower ranked Kenya and a draw with Gabon who are ahead on the ranking, Zambia powered past South Africa, Uganda and Burkina Faso to move into 16th position in Africa.

The latest rankings have arrested a free fall by the Chipolopolo whose only other upward movement was in April.

Zambia this month play Egypt (ranked 9th in Africa) in a game that will weigh towards next month’s rankings.
