India’s Football Team Hits Rock Bottom! FIFA Ranking Shock Stuns Fans

By Abhishek Kumar

Indian Football Faces Its Darkest Hour! In a major shock to fans across the country India’s men’s football team has dropped to 136th place in the latest FIFA rankings their worst position in almost a decade!

This dramatic fall comes after a series of poor performances and heartbreaking results in recent months. India’s failure in the AFC Asian Cup 2027 qualifiers where they drew 1–1 with Singapore and then suffered a 1–2 defeat at home has pushed the team into a deep crisis. These matches carried heavy ranking points and the losses have proven costly. Once hailed as a rising force under coach Igor Štimac the Blue Tigers now look lost in transition. Constant coaching changes a lack of attacking firepower and tactical confusion have shattered the team’s rhythm. After Štimac’s exit Khalid Jamil took charge but rebuilding confidence after such humiliation won’t be easy.

Just two years ago India had broken into the top 100 and fans were dreaming of Asian Cup success and future World Cup qualification. But now reality bites hard the team’s morale is at an all time low. Their last major competitive win came back in November 2023 and since then India has failed to deliver even against lower-ranked teams.
This slump isn’t just about rankings it’s about pride passion and the very future of Indian football. Critics say it’s time for a complete reboot of the system, from grassroots to leadership. The fall to 136 is not just a number it’s a wake-up call

Now the big question stands Can India bounce back or is this the beginning of another lost era for Indian footballFans are waiting hearts heavy but hope alive.
