Hardly something the Maltese men will boast about. But; according to FIFA, they are one of, if not, the worst ever Malta national football team.

Ranked 176th in the FIFA World Rankings, their current positioning is the country’s lowest in their history.

The likes of Tahiti (172nd), St. Lucia (171st) and Kosovo (168th) are officially ranked above them.

Their best ever ranking was back in September 1994 and September 1995, where they were boosted up to 66th in the rankings respectively.
