Cameroon continue to head up the list of African sides in the Fifa world rankings, while Egypt jumped a further place in the first table of 2009.

The Indomitable Lions are ranked 14th overall in the world, with African champions Egypt now one place behind them in 15th.

Nigeria have also climbed two places to 17th, benefiting further from their impressive recent unbeaten run in World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations qualifying.

Ghana’s Black Stars are up one to 25th, while Ivory Coast drop one to 29th.

Last month’s big movers Kenya dropped back down to 84th, having briefly climbed to 68th, on the back of qualifying for the final stage of World and Nations Cup qualifying. - BBC
