Despite the two consecutive draws against Oman and Jordan, the Korean national soccer team led by Coach Hong Myung-bo maintained its 23rd position in the FIFA rankings. Japan ranked first in Asia at 15th.

FIFA announced Thursday (Korea time) its new rankings reflecting the results of the A-match period. Korea was sluggish with two draws, but maintained its previous 23rd place and maintained its second place in Asia. Japan ranked 15th with one win and one draw, while Iran ranked 18th.
It was a bit of a surprise. Korea faced off against Oman, which was ranked 80th in FIFA rankings, and Jordan, which was ranked 64th. Although the two teams were not far apart, it was disappointing that Korea, which has the upper hand, played poorly at home and secured a 1-1 draw in both games, which was expected to see its ranking drop.

Fortunately, however, the team remained in the 23rd place. In the ranking announced in December last year, Korea had 1,585.45 points, but was given 1574.93 points this time. Even though the ranking fell by 10.52 points, the team maintained its ranking. 먹튀검증
