India 99th in FIFA rankings

The Indian football team has re-entered the top-100 of the FIFA world rankings and is now placed at 99th in the latest chart released on Thursday.

The team, which did not play any international match in this ranking period, jumped three places to enter the top-100 for the first time this year. It now has 339 points to its kitty to be at the joint 99th spot



with Libya.

Last year, the Indian team broke into the top-100 three times, rising as high as 96th in July -- the second best ever after the 94th place attained in February 1996. But it ended the year at the 105th spot.

Among Asian countries, the Indian team is now 13th, above the likes of Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Bahrain and North Korea.
