Australia has risen two spots to number 100 in FIFA’s world rankings without playing a game.
The Socceroos were ranked 102 in late November after their loss to Japan, but have risen to 100 in the rankings which were released overnight.
It means Australia will enter next month’s Asian Cup on home soil with the 10th highest ranking of the Asian nations.
Greece has also moved up one spot to 24, as has Cyprus, which sits 87th.
The top three remain unchanged since September, with Germany still leading the world followed by Argentina and Colombia.
