World Cup bound Tunisia has lost ground in the latest FIFA rankings released just a week before the start of the world’s biggest football competition.
The Eagles of Carthage slipped down the pecking order, from position 14 in May to position 21 currently.
The North Africans are however still the best ranked side on the continent, ahead of Senegal and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
On the brighter side for Tunisia however, they are not the team that deteriorated most from the continent.
Guinea Bissau is Africa’s biggest loser in the new rankings, losing ground to the tune of 17 positions (from 104 – 121). Rwanda also lost ground, sliding from 123 – 136.
The biggest gainers from the continent were Madagascar (from 114 – 106) and the Central African Republic (115 – 108).
In the overall rankings, current world champions Germany retained their position at the top ahead of Brazil and Belgium.
