African teams took a beating in the latest FIFA ranking released by FIFA today. Seven-time African champions Egypt dropped seven points out of the top 10 to 17th position. However the Pharaohs remain Africa's top team.
The slides followed the devaluation of last years results.

Cote d'Ivoire maintained its 22nd position in the world, but Ghana fell one spot to move to 28th on the global table.
