Fifa Rankings: Unsuccessful Afcon qualifiers push Uganda, Tanzania down

Uganda, the leading nation in the Cecafa region, have dropped by a place and are now ranked 84th worldwide.

The Cranes would have progressed had they picked a point in the last group qualifier against Malawi. However, after drawing against Burkina Faso 0-0 at St Mary's Stadium at Kitende, they went down 1-0 to The Flames in Blantyre thus ending any hope of going to the finals.
