Reggae Girlz remain fourth in CONCACAF despite slip to 40th

…Lady Jags ranked 87th

Despite falling three places to #40 in the latest FIFA/ Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking, Jamaica’s Reggae Girlz have held firm as the fourth-ranked team in CONCACAF heading into the new year.
The Jamaicans, who drew three and lost one of their last four matches in Women’s Gold Cup qualifiers between the last two windows, remain behind second-ranked United States; 10th-ranked Canada; and Mexico, who inched one spot up to 35th in the rankings released on Friday.
Meanwhile, Haiti, who have attained their highest ever placing at 51st, along with Trinidad and Tobago at 78th and Guyana at 87th, are the next best Caribbean teams on the FIFA rankings list.
Guyana’s Lady Jags have had an impressive run lately, winning 5 of their last 6 CONCACAF international assignments.
At the other end of the rankings, World Champions Spain have taken pole position for the first time, overtaking United States. Spain is only the fourth team to reach the summit of the rankings, after the United States, Germany and Sweden.
France moved two spots up to third, as England held firm in fourth, while Sweden slipped four places into fifth. Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Korea DPR, and Canada (10th) complete the top 10 in that order, which no longer features Brazil, who slipped two places to 11th. (Sportsmax)
