This month we see so many actions for Asian national teams: two rounds of FIFA World Cup qualification, Asian Cup qualification play-off, and also SAFF Championship. Big congratulations to India for winning the SAFF Championship! Also, congratulations to Indonesia and Cambodia who have won the ticket for Asian Cup qualification Third Round.
If we look at the rankings table of Asian national teams only, there were only small changes. No movements in the top-10. Iran hold firm to their 1st position, while Australia and Korea Republic are still ranked 3rd and 4th, however there are only 0.78 points margin between them now.
Indonesia is also the most improved nation in Asia after winning both their matches against Chinese Taipei. They went up 10 spots from 175th to 165th. The Merah Putih also got the most points with 28.56 points collected this month. On the opposite side, the nation which its ranking dropped the most is Chinese Taipei which fell 7 spots to 158th.
