India slumps to lowest FIFA ranking since 2016

ByEnigma 808

India’s football team dropped to 136th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, marking their lowest position since 2016. This decline means they are out of contention for the 2026 World Cup and the 2027 AFC Asian Cup. Despite earlier successes in 2023, such as winning the Intercontinental Cup and SAFF Championship, India’s performance has worsened after a poor AFC Asian Cup showing in Qatar, where they failed to score and were eliminated in the group stage.

The team has faced instability with three head coaches in less than two years. Their last competitive win was in November 2023. Globally, Spain remains at the top, followed by Argentina and France.
