Iran second in Asia in latest FIFA ranking

Persianfootball.com – ZURICH, Despite not playing any matches, Iran once more improved its position in the latest FIFA ranking, now standing in 48th position.

In the continental ranking, Iran is only second to Japan, whereas Australia, South Korea and Uzbekistan are all trailing Team Melli.

Iran has qualified for the FIFA World Cup in June but so far has failed to set up any friendly matches due to financial and organizational problems.

This was leading to disarray between coach Carlos Queiroz and the Iranian football federation who were quick to assure all problems have been solved now and Queiroz can implement his plans until World Cup.
