Well , we're now at 152 in the World and 28th in the AFC/Zonals Rankings! The Phl Azkals are still behind 149th Myanmar, 150th Netherlands Antilles and 151st Fiji based on the World rankings! While in the AFC/Zonals , we are behind rank 27th Myanmar, 26th India, 25th HK and 24th Singapore!
Assuming we sweep Mongolia in the home-away Qualifiers, we will join 149th Myanmar ( 27th AFC) , 157th Bangladesh ( 30th AFC ) and 178th Palestine ( 39TH AFC ) which were all automatically ceded earlier as Group Stage Entrants in Group A from 4 Groups ( 4 teams per group) for the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup Qualifying Group Stage round-robin tournament in the 3rd week of March! ! The top 2 teams from each group then move on to the Group Stage ( 2 groups of 4 teams per group) for the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup tournament proper!
So , that's a long campaign ahead for the Azkals and their success from this season's run-up to the AFC Challenge Cup will help improve their World/ Zonals ranking!
