In July’s Fifa ranking, Sierra Leone stayed at 122nd place and 34th in the continent but the focus is on Equatorial Guinea, Angola, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The impact on the rankings of certain African teams was due to their limited participation during the concurrent UEFA EURO and Copa América events.
Equatorial Guinea moved up by two places, while Angola and the Democratic Republic of Congo each moved up by one place.
Morocco, a top team in African football, didn’t do as well but still did well against tough teams. They dropped from 12th to 14th place in the world, but they are still a strong force in international football.
Senegal’s national team, the Lions of Teranga, also dropped to 19th place in the rankings.
Overall, these changes show the bright and competitive spirit of African football. They also show that African football is getting better and becoming more important globally.
