\nGambia is ranked 116th on the coca-cola monthly standing moving two places up Fifa’s country-rater reveals. Gambia leaped up two places on eight hundred and eighty-five points, five points above their previous footing.<\/p>\n
Despite not playing test matches since they bowed out of the 2012 Equatorial Guinea and Gabon Nations cup in the qualifiers, the new standing had done the Scorpions a little favour after Fifa revealed the results on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
On the continent, Gambia is 29th out of the fifty-three African countries with an average of 129.18 this year.<\/p>\n
Spain tops the standing, then Netherlands, Germany, Uruguay, England and Brazil on 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th respectively.<\/p>\n
The Scorpions fell short of yet another qualification spot in the Caf tournament, drawing their last encounter with Burkina Faso in Banjul.<\/p>\n
As a result of yet another abysmal performance, the country had its third foreign coach Paul Put, sacked and the replacement however remain unnamed.<\/p>\n
