Helped by the 1-1 draw against India in a World Cup qualifier match in Kolkata last week, Bangladesh jumped three rungs to 184th spot in the latest FIFA ranking issued on Thursday.

However, the draw saw the Indian football team dropping two places to 106th position in the latest FIFA rankings.

India’s draw against Bangladesh came after India's impressive goalless draw against Asian champions Qatar in September.

Belgium has managed to hold on to the top spot, followed by France and Brazil.

Top-ten rivals Uruguay (5th, up 1), Croatia (7th, up 1), Argentina (9th, up 1) have edged closer to the summit, according to the FIFA website.

England are placed fourth ahead of Uruguay, Portugal, Croatia, Spain, Argentina and Colombia.
