CAIRO: Egypt have jumped three spots in the monthly FIFA Ranking for national team, to reach a year-high in 21st place.
Despite the fact that Egypt have not played since the last update, the African champions are now close to breaking into the top 20.
Egypt s best ever FIFA position came in 1998 and 2006, as they made it to the 17th place on both occasions.
There were no changes in the top 10 teams as European champions Spain remained on top of the table, while Germany leapfrogged Italy in second place.
