The Eritrean national team has a unique situation. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
It is the only team listed in the FIFA rankings, but it does not have a position in the ranking. This situation is related to the fact that the national team has not participated in official matches for more than five years.
The worsening political situation and the increasing cases of players fleeing the country have caused this situation. According to FIFA rules, if a national team does not play official matches for more than four years, it loses its position in the ranking.
For this reason, the Eritrean national team has lost its place in the ranking. However, the situation may change.
The Eritrean national team is preparing to resume its activities. In May, they played two friendly matches against the Niger national team.
The first match ended in a 0:0 draw, while the second match saw the Eritrean team win 1:0. These matches generated significant interest in the sports media of this African country.
This increases the likelihood of Eritrea officially returning to the football field in the near future. If the national team's activities continue, they will have the opportunity to regain their position in the FIFA rankings.
Football fans are positively welcoming this news and eagerly awaiting future matches. There is no doubt about the significant importance of the Eritrean national team for the country's football.
