AFRICA CUP 2015 QUALIFIERS CAPE VERDE

Having sat in 15th place last month Cape Verde moved up to seventh in the latest list of teams on the continent and 41st globally.

It marks a rise of 8 places and 34 spots respectively.

Algeria remain the top-ranked side in Africa, while Togo suffered the biggest drop of all teams of the global list, falling from 87th to 125th to place.
