Zimbabwe drop to worst-ever FIFA ranking

The Zimbabwe national football team has reached a historic low in the FIFA rankings, now positioned at its worst-ever spot following a disappointing performance at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON). The Warriors were eliminated in the group stage, finishing last in Group B with only one point, after suffering a 2-1 defeat to Egypt in their opening match. This decline reflects ongoing challenges for the team on the international stage.
