Zimbabwe Warriors got a morale booster going into today's battle against table-topping Uganda in their second Group B match of the Chan finals at Athlone Stadium in Cape Town (kickoff 5pm) after climbing two places on the latest Fifa rankings.
The Warriors are now ranked 105 in the world and 29 in Africa after accumulating 312 points.
With the win against Gabon and a draw against Marocco, Ian Gorowa's charges were expected to marginally move up the rankings.
Spain remain the best team in the world according to the latest world rankings. The January rankings were released by the ruling body FIFA Thursday but there is little change from December due to few matches being played.
Spain have 1 507 ranking points which gives them a comfortable lead over Germany (1 318) and Argentina (1 251).
The only movement in the top 25 countries comes from Bosnia and Herzegovina who move up to 19th spot, skipping France and Mexico who each move down one place.
World Cup hosts Brazil remain in 10 position and the Ivory Coast is the highest ranking African country in 17th. The next world rankings will be published on February 13.
