Kenya's national football team, Harambee Stars, has seen a decline in their FIFA ranking after a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Mozambique in an international friendly match.

According to the latest FIFA rankings, released on October 24, 2019, Harambee Stars have dropped one place to 108th globally, a position they previously held.

The team's poor performance in the match, played at Kasarani Stadium on October 13, 2019, is believed to have contributed to their decline in the rankings.

Amânsio Canhembe's second-half goal was the difference-maker in the match, with the youngster scoring the visitor's opener in the 69th minute after being set up by Fernandes.

Despite the setback, Harambee Stars remain second-placed in the region, behind Uganda, who are ranked 79th globally.

Uganda's position is a place up from their previous ranking, while Rwanda completes the top three in position 129 globally.

The top four global positions remained unchanged, with Belgium retaining their slot on the summit, followed by France, Brazil, and England in second, third, and fourth place respectively.
