KUALA LUMPUR:
The national football squad have continued their improvement, climbing up two rungs to 167th in the World FIFA rankings for November.

With 984 points, Malaysia are now placed among countries such as Indonesia (160th), Nepal (162nd), Singapore (165th) and Cambodia (172nd).

The improved ranking follows victories for Harimau Malaya in several international friendlies this month.

However, Malaysia still have a lot to do to catch up with other Southeast Asian countries such as Vietnam (100th), Philippines (114th), Thailand (118th) and Myanmar (139th).

Three-time Asian Cup winners Iran remain the best team in Asia (29th), followed by Australia (41st), Japan (50th) and South Korea (53rd).

1980 European Cup winners Belgium remain world number one with 1,727 points, while 2018 World Cup champions France rank second at only one point behind.

Five-time World Cup winners Brazil are in third place with 1,676 points.
