Indian football team rises to 137 in Fifa rankings

NEW DELHI: The Indian football team achieved its best FIFA ranking in over six years when the side jumped 11 places to be 137th in the list released on Thursday.

India, who defeated 114th ranked Puerto Rico in an International Friendly in Mumbai in September, garnered 230 points for the month.

In August 2010, India were ranked 137th which stayed India’s best ever FIFA Ranking since then.

National Coach Stephen Constantine wasn’t willing to read too much into it.
