The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) has issued its new World Ranking.

Accordingly, the Armenian national squad have dropped one spot and are currently 98th in the FIFA standings. The team’s once 30th ranking, however, was a record-breaking high for the country.

The 2018 World Cup bronze medalists, Belgium, still top the FIFA World Ranking, while Brazil and reigning world champions France are second and third, respectively.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
