Ethiopia Walia Ibex climbed one place up in the latest Fifa rankings moving from 101 to 100 despite not playing any matches since the last CHAN hosted by South Africa in January.
Ethiopia has seen a slow decline in their rankings which rose in 2013 November when they qualified for the 2014 World Cup qualifers losing against Nigeria who qualified for the football show piece.Ethiopia was then ranked 93rd moving to 95th in January 2014 before a sharp decline that saw them move to 101 in February before the sacking of then coach Sewnet Bishaw.
Ethiopia are sandwitched between Georgia at 99th and Qatar at 101 while they are 27th placed in Africa sandwitched between Liberia who are 26th and Zimbabwe who are 27th .
The best ever ranking for Ethiopia was in 2006/2007 when they were ranked 86th Worldwide.
Ethiopia football federation (EFF) is currently seeking to fill the gap left by Bishaw.
