JORDAN JUMP 17 PLACES IN FIFA RANKINGS

Jordan’s brilliant form recently has seen them leap 17 places in the latest FIFA world rankings released over the weekend.

World Cup/Asian Cup qualifying wins over Australia and Tajikistan and a friendly win over Iraq were behind the jump up to 82, the biggest mover inside the top 100.

A dreadful 2014 saw Jordan slump to 117 in the rankings, but a fine run of unbeaten games this year has resulted in the dramatic move up the table. They play a friendly match against Malta this week in preparation for their next qualifier against Kyrgyzstan next week.

Belgium top the list, followed by Germany, Argentina, Portugal and Chile.
