The victory over Albania allowed our national team to set a record climb in the ranking.\nLast month turned out to be successful for Ukraine in terms of its position in the FIFA ranking. Thanks to the victory over the Albanians, we gained 15 points and rose eight positions at once, catching up with Switzerland. Only Chad, which currently occupies the 160th line of the ranking, experienced the same dizzying rise.\n\nIt is worth noting the success of our rivals in the 2006 World Cup qualifying group, the Greek national team. The Hellenes, thanks to victories over the Danish national team, rose five places at once and achieved their highest position since the ranking was founded in 1993. To date, the European champions occupy the 13th line. Finland, Canada and Gabon also rose five positions. Our former neighbors from the "big and mighty" are also progressing - Belarus rose four lines, Georgia – three.\n\nPositions of individual countries in the FIFA ranking:\n1. Brazil - 840\n2.
