Chipolopolo Slip in FIFA Rankings After 5-0 Argentina Thrashing

Zambia has dropped one place in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola Men's World Ranking following the Chipolopolo's heavy 5-0 defeat to world champions Argentina during the March international window. The updated rankings, published on Wednesday, reflect results from the most recent round of international fixtures, with Zambia slipping from 91st to 92nd in the world. The latest movement comes in the wake of a difficult run for the national team, which has now failed to collect ranking points from its last two outings — the 3-0 AFCON defeat to Morocco in January and the emphatic loss away to Argentina at La Bombonera in Buenos Aires. According to FIFA's latest update, Zambia now sit on 1,255 points. Coach Lwandamina says the team drew valuable lessons from the historic friendly against the world champions.
