27.03.05 Northern Ireland move up a spot in the FIFA world rankings

Northern Ireland ladies gained another 9 points in the official FIFA womens rankings this month and move to 82nd place, sitting above Cameroon and only 1 point below the Philipines.

After the USA's win against Germany in the Algarve Cup final, the two teams are in joint 1st position, something that has never happened before in either the women's or the men's tables. The full ranking table can be seen on the FIFA website.

The next ranking scheduled is on 24th June 2005.
