Despite failing to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, Egypt have moved up two spots in the March FIFA World Ranking.
In the last FIFA ranking in February, The Pharaohs were placed 34th on the international ladder, sitting fourth among the African nations.
Since then, the Egyptian national team have only played two games which were in the World Cup qualifiers against Senegal.
