Kenya football national team Harambee Stars has dropped 14 places to 102 in the latest FIFA ranking realized on Monday 16th.
The Stanley Okumbi led charges are now 25th in Africa following devastating back-to-back defeats to Iraq and Thailand during the last FIFA International week in results.
In the two FIFA friendly matches, Kenya lost 2-1 to Iraq and 1-0 to Thailand and came back last Tuesday with Football Kenya Federation boss, Nick Mwendwa, forced to come out in defence of the coach.
According to the rankings, Peru climbed into the top 10 for the first time in an edition marked by the recent, decisive FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
The Peruvians, who qualified for an Intercontinental Play-off against New Zealand, were joined in the Ranking’s upper echelons by Spain, who climbed from 11th to eighth on the back of an impressive conclusion to their unbeaten qualifying campaign.
The table makes pleasant reading for many European nations, with Germany holding on to top spot and France (7, up 1), England (12, up 3), Denmark (19, up 7), Scotland (29, up 14) and Austria (39, up 18) among others making significant gains.
The Austrians are one of four new entries to the top 50, where they are joined by Czech Republic (46, up 12), Morocco (48, up 8) and World Cup qualifying sensations Panama (49, up 11).
Peru’s historic rise will compensate for that, and Los Incas are one of five nations celebrating their best-ever Ranking position this month. Sharing that distinction are Palestine (84, up 7), Luxembourg (93, up 8), Comoros (127, up 14) and Chinese Taipei (143, up 8).
The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on November 23.
