Harimau Malaya slip three spots to 137th in latest FIFA ranking

Despite consistent progress since Aug last year, Malaysian team collected only 1.82 points in Oct window for international friendlies

KUALA LUMPUR – After steadily climbing the ladder since August last year, Harimau Malaya fell three rungs in the latest FIFA world ranking.

Coach Kim Pan-gon’s men, who were ranked 134th last month, dropped to 137th after amassing 1,096.72 points, collecting just 1.82 points during the October 9 to 17 FIFA window for international friendlies.

During that period, Malaysia defeated India 4-2 in the 2023 Merdeka Tournament here before losing 2-0 to Tajikistan in the final, which was Harimau Malaya’s first loss in seven matches.

Malaysia, however, remained in the 24th spot among Asian teams and emerged as the third-best Southeast Asian team behind Vietnam (world number 94) and Thailand (world number 112).

The Philippines fell to number 138, while neighbours Indonesia and Singapore each climbed up two spots to number 145 and number 155.

Argentina, the 2022 world champions, continue to lead the way in the world ranking, followed by France, Brazil, England, and Belgium.

For the Asia zone, the top five teams are Japan, who are ranked 18th in the world, Iran (21st), South Korea (24th), Australia (27th), and Saudi Arabia (57th).

The Football Association of Malaysia is on a mission to ensure that Harimau Malaya are in the top 130 bracket by the end of this year.

For the record, Malaysia was ranked 148th in the world in August last year. – October 26, 2023
