Pitso Mosimane’s Bafana Bafana has gained two places on FIFA’s official ranking system which was released earlier today, August 24. The South African national team has moved up two spots, from 49th place to 47th.
South Africa’s rise on the table follows the country’s 3-0 win over Burkina Faso in an international friendly played earlier this month at the Ellis Park Stadium in Johannesburg.
Bafana is now ranked seventh on the African continent, with Ivory Coast, Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Burkina Faso and Algeria occupying the first six places respectively.
The Netherlands now lead FIFA’s rankings having replaced Spain who have moved into second spot while Germany remain in third position. England and Uruguay complete the top five positions with England in fourth and Uruguay in fifth position. Soccer Laduma
