Indian football team stay on 102nd position in December FIFA Rankings

The Indian football team didn’t see a change in position from the previous FIFA Ranking.

In the recently published FIFA Rankings for 2023, the Indian football team finds itself holding firm at the 102nd position, boasting a commendable total of 1200.8 points. While the numerical standing remains the same, the underlying story is one of resilience, growth, and significant achievements for Indian football.

The year 2023 proved to be a watershed moment for Indian football, marked by a triumphant spree that saw the national team clinch the Tri-Nation Cup, Intercontinental Cup, and the SAFF Championship. The Blue Tigers also defeated Kuwait in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. These victories not only fueled the nation’s footballing spirit but also showcased the team’s prowess and determination on the international stage. The players’ stellar performances and strategic teamwork contributed to their elevation in the eyes of football enthusiasts worldwide.

However, the journey was not without its challenges. India faced a formidable Qatar in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. Despite a valiant effort, the team experienced a setback with a loss to the Maroons. This encounter, while disappointing, served as a learning curve for the squad, offering invaluable experience that will undoubtedly contribute to their growth and preparation for future competitions.

Looking ahead, the Indian football team is gearing up for the upcoming AFC Asian Cup, where they are set to face football powerhouses – Australia, Uzbekistan, and Syria. This challenging group stage presents an opportunity for the Indian players to test their mettle against top-tier opposition, further honing their skills and gaining exposure on the global footballing scene.

As the footballing community eagerly awaits the AFC Asian Cup, India’s FIFA ranking serves as a testament to the team’s stability and perseverance. The nation can take pride in the strides made by its footballers and eagerly anticipate the continued growth and success of the Indian national football team on the international stage.
