FIFA released the Coca Cola/FIFA world rankings on the 17 November 2010 with Botswana (Zebras) ranked 67th in the world and 13th in Africa.
South Africa is the only southern Africa team above the Zebras in the FIFA ranking with Zambia coming third after the Zebras.
Botswana is now above some of the African super powers like, Morocco, Senegal, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Togo and Angola.
The next FIFA ranking will be released on 15th December 2010 with the Zebras again expected to further climb the ranking after defeating Tunisia 1nil in a 2012 AFCON qualifiers.
Zebras improved dramatically in 2010, they were ranked 119th in the world and 33rd in Africa on the 3rd February 2010.
The Zebra should continue the good run of unbeaten record to target position ten in Africa so that they are placed with the weak teams on the group stages for 2014 world Cup
