Malaysia breaks the top 100 in the FIFA world rankings

According to the latest FIFA world rankings released earlier this month, Malaysia is now in 99th position. This is better than the 117th position we held last month and much better than the 127th position held a year ago. The last time we were at our current position was in August 1998. (Incidentally, the highest Malaysia has been is 75 waaay back in August 1993 when the rankings were first established. We started sliding then and have never looked back since.)

Yet, we are still some way from being comfortable. We share table positions with Vietnam and Malawi and are still behind such powerhouses as Haiti, Libya and Togo.

No matter, for the first time in nine months, we are ahead of Singapore in the rankings who are currently at 102nd position.

Malaysia Boleh!
