Johannesburg - Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane says he is not worried that they have dropped nine places to number 47 in the latest FIFA World Rankings released on Wednesday.
Bafana have also dropped four places to number seven in the African rankings, but Mosimane says his plan for the team is still very much on track.
"We are not worried about our latest position in the FIFA World rankings because there are a number of countries that have been playing in other Confederations while we were not in action," said Mosimane.
"We can't do much with our position at the moment as we know we recently defeated Tanzania and held Egypt to a goalless draw in away matches.
"With the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Niger coming up in September and Sierra Leone in October, we are confident that a positive result will give us a favourable move and restore our place on the rankings. We are still on track in terms of our short term objectives, we are top of our group in the AFCON qualifiers and still very much on course to qualify for Next year's African football showpiece in Gabon and Equatorial Guinea," said Mosimane.
On the world rankings, Spain is still top of the pack, followed by the Netherlands, Germany, England, and Brazil. Others in the top ten are Italy, Portugal, Croatia, Mexico and Argentina.
The next FIFA rankings will be released on July 27.
