New Delhi: The Indian football team Thursday slipped out of the top 100 in the latest FIFA rankings following their back to back group league defeats during the AFC Asian Cup in the UAE.

Skipper Sunil Chhetri and Co slumped six places to be ranked 103 with 1219 points in the FIFA rankings released Thursday. India also dropped out of the top 15 in the AFC rankings, plummeting to 18th.

Following India’s exit from the AFC Cup, Stephen Constantine stepped down from his role as India chief coach.

The country will now need to play friendlies in March against higher-ranked countries to improve their ranking ahead of the draw of the second round of 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, which is likely to be held in April.

India had regained its place in the top 100 in March last year, after breaking the top 100 bracket for the first time in 21 years in 2017.
