Indian Men’s National Football Team Make History, Enter FIFA’s Top 100 Club!
The Indian men’s national football team has made history as they have achieved their highest ever rank in the FIFA world rankings. After five years of slipping away from their 96th position in 2018, the team has managed to achieve the 100th rank on FIFA’s latest ranking. This is a momentous milestone for Indian football, which is great news for all fans and supporters of the sport across India.
This impressive feat was made possible due to a total of 1204.90 points secured by the team in this season’s rankings. This achievement marks only the fourth-best rank that the Indian men’s football team has achieved since its inception back in 1993, when it reached a peak of 99th.
Moreover, the team had also achieved a 94th rank in 1996 and 96th position during 2017-2018.
This success has been attributed to the excellent work done by the Indian football team to reach this milestone. In addition to players’ hard work and dedication, the credit also goes to head coach Igor Stimac for his continued efforts and guidance. His strategies have made it possible for the side to enter into FIFA’s top 100 club, which was a long-time goal of Indian football.
The All India Football Federation (AIFF) has also expressed their joy at the momentous achievement of entering into FIFA’s top 100 rankings. Praful Patel, president of AIFF said “It is a proud moment for us at AIFF as Indian men’s national team has entered the top 100 club of FIFA. This is a major step forward in the growth of Indian football and I congratulate everyone associated with our National Team for their hard work and dedication. We are confident that this will further motivate us to continue our upward trajectory.”
The future looks bright for Indian football after this achievement, as it opens up more opportunities to play against some of the best teams in the world, which can be essential for them in order to improve their ranking further. India’s next assignment is due on June 8th when they face Qatar in their World Cup qualifiers match, and fans across the country will be hoping that their team can make further progress on the world stage.
The Indian men’s national football team have made the country proud by achieving their highest ever ranking in FIFA’s world rankings. With this milestone, India has shown that it is a force to be reckoned with on the international stage. It will be exciting to see how far they can go from here and what new heights they can achieve in the coming years.
