The Fiji Football Association does not want to comment about Fiji's lowest FIFA world ranking of 191 out of 209 affiliates as there is still no confirmation of any international matches in the near future.

Fijivillage approached Fiji FA President Rajesh Patel and he said they do not want to talk further about this issue as they have already given an explanation about it.

Patel only said they will not improve their rankings by playing teams like Samoa and Tonga but they are having talks with Vanuatu, New Caledonia and New Zealand.

Patel added they are trying to organize an Asian tour for the National side next year but again nothing has been confirmed.

Teams like Guam, Samoa and Tonga are ranked higher than Fiji at 176, 187 and 189 respectively.

Fiji has not played any international matches this year.

Last year Fiji only played in the World Cup Qualifying rounds in Solomon Islands in June where we lost to New Zealand and drew with Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. 

The team also played the Play Fair Brazil touring side which was a friendly affair which had no effect on the FIFA rankings.
