Egypt has climbed seven positions to number 68 in FIFA’s world football ranking in April.
Egypt, once ranked in the global top ten, fell to their worst positions since the list was established in 1993 during the previous two months.
Egypt’s ranking has been affected by a lack of competitive action after failing to qualify for the 2012 and 2013 African Cup of Nations, and the Port Said disaster – during which 72 Ahly fans died at a match with Masry – that lead to the postponement of the domestic league for over one year.
