A sword in the water… This Thursday, FIFA published its traditional classification of nations and, as much to say it immediately, this one does not teach us anything. Globally, only one change can be reported, Bahrain overtaking Kyrgyzstan at the 99e place, while Belgium, France and Brazil are still in the lead.
On the African side, it is the complete status quo with an unchanged Senegal-Tunisia-Nigeria podium. These three nations, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and Ghana allow the continent to count 7 representatives in the Top 50. See you on August 12 for a next edition which promises on the other hand a lot of movement since the Euro , the Copa America and friendly matches for the African selections will be followed by then.
