Cameroon back on top in Fifa ranking

Cameroon have bounced back on top of Af rican teams in Fifa’s monthly ranking. The October rankings place Cameroon 14th in the world classification, up 15 places from the September rankings. Cameroon total 949 points, with top seeded Brazil counting 1632 points.

That moves Cameroon back to the top for African teams, toppling the Ivory Coast, now second.  Cameroon’s metoeric bounce back is certainly thanks to its three straight victories in World Cup/AFCON qualifiers and their friendly with Austria.
