The Indian men’s football team has dropped out of the top 100 in the FIFA Rankings after the defeat against Lebanon in the Kings Cup. A 77th-minute goal by Kaseem Al Zein put paid to India’s hopes of retaining the third place in the 49th King’s Cup 2023 as Lebanon defeated India, it also took away 5.09 ranking points from India. This disappointing outcome comes just months after India celebrated their return to the top 100. In the last FIFA Rankings update published by FIFA in June, India had managed to secure the 100th spot following an impressive performance in the Intercontinental Cup and the ongoing SAFF Championship. During June, India recorded five wins and two draws, earning them 4.24 ranking points and pushing them into the world’s top 100 teams.
