India is now ranked 142nd in the world after dropping six spots in the most recent FIFA rankings. India’s poor performance in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers, where the Blue Tigers have lost all five of their games, is the reason for the decline. On October 14, India lost 1-2 to Singapore, eliminating them from the AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifying campaign. On Tuesday, it lost its most recent game against Bangladesh 0-1. India’s lowest FIFA ranking was 173 in March 2015. The setback exacerbates broader worries about the Indian Super League’s uncertain future in the domestic game.
