India has fallen six places in the latest FIFA rankings published on Wednesday and is now 142nd in the world.
The drop comes after India’s dismal performance in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers, where the Blue Tigers have failed to win a single match in five matches.

India suffered a 1-2 defeat to Singapore on October 14 and crashed out of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualifying race. They went down 0-1 in the final match against Bangladesh on Tuesday.
The lowest FIFA ranking India has achieved is 173 in March 2015.
The recent setback further adds to the woes on the domestic scene, where the top competition, the Indian Super League (ISL), faces an uncertain future.
