ZURICH, Switzerland, May 4, 2017/APO/ --

With many club seasons nearing their climax, it was a quiet month on the international front – a fact reflected in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking.

Seeing just seven games played, the top 20 places remained static following April, with a one-place drop for Slovakia (24th) accounting for the only movement among the leading 73 nations. Bolivia (73rd, up 1) caused that small ripple of motion.

Outside of the top 100 there was some notable change. A pair of wins for Madagascar (111th, up 9) over Malawi (114th, down 14) saw them claim the honour of being the month’s biggest movers up and down the table respectively, with South Sudan (146th, up 8) not far behind after similarly twice seeing off Somalia (206th, unchanged).

The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on 1 June 2017.
