Zimbabwe Warriors improved 4 places to number 104 from 123 in the latest Fifa world rankings released on Wednesday.
The Warriors are also down to number 34 in the African rankings. The drop in Africa rankings comes shortly after the Warrior's woeful COSAFA Cup campaign where the national team was humiliated by Namibia.
Average position since Fifa world ranking creation is position 77.
At the top of the rankings, World Cup 2014 winners Germany remain on top while European neighbours Belgium have moved into second spot at the expense of Argentina.
France have moved up into ninth place with Switzerland dropping out of the top ten altogether.
Algeria and Ivory Coast, who have both dropped a global ranking spot, remain first and second on the continental rankings.
