NAMIBIA has dropped two places to 111 in the world on the latest Fifa world ranking that was issued on Thursday.

The Brave Warriors, who drew to Guinea Bissau and beat Ghana over the past month, are now ranked 26th in Africa.

AFP, meanwhile, reports that Senegal replaced Tunisia as the highest ranked African national team.

The Senegalese rose from second place on the back of a 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying victory in Equatorial Guinea during November.

Tunisia lost away to Egypt in the same competition, and were also beaten at home by Morocco in a friendly.

Only five African countries - Senegal, Tunisia, Morocco, Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo - were among the top 50 in the world.

The top 20 African countries, with their world rankings in brackets, are as follows:

1. Senegal (23), 2. Tunisia (26), 3. Morocco (40), 4. Nigeria (44), 5. DR Congo (49), 6. Ghana (51), 7. Cameroon (55), 8. Egypt (56), 9. Burkina Faso (61), 10. Mali (64), 11. Ivory Coast (65), 12. Guinea (66), 13. Algeria (67), 14. Cape Verde (72), 15. South Africa (72), 16. Uganda (75), 17. Zambia (82), 18. Congo Brazzaville (84), 19. Gabon (85), 20. Benin (94)
