FIFA RANKINGS: Zimbabwe Warriors Move 3 Spots Up

Zimbabwe Warriors have moved three places up, from number 111 to 108 in the World, on the latest FIFA World rankings released on Thursday.

The development is attributed to their performance against African champions, Algeria, in the back to back Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria, Nigeria, Morocco, Ghana, Cameroon, Egypt, Mali and Burkina Faso complete the African top 10.
