Johannesburg - The South African football team have fallen nine positions in the latest FIFA world rankings.
After climbing to 38th place in May - the team's highest ranking since 2004 - Bafana Bafana fell to 47th in the rankings released on Wednesday.
Despite the drop, South Africa remain unbeaten this year, having won three of their four matches in 2011.
They have lost only one game since last year's FIFA World Cup, going down 1-0 to the United States in Cape Town in November.
