The latest edition of the FIFA Coca Cola Men’s World Rankings have seen Barbados avoid their lowest ranking ever, instead moving up two places to 175th.
This move was as a result of a pair of wins in League C of the CONCACAF Nations League over the Bahamas and the US Virgin Islands.
The Kent Hall coached team first beat the Bahamians 3-2 on September 7 before putting three past the USVI with no reply three days later.
Both games were played at the Bethlehem Soccer Stadium in St. Croix.
The Tridents enjoyed the fourth biggest move in the CONCACAF region in terms of points added during the September window, only trailing Belize, the Dominican Republic and St. Lucia.
Prior to the September window, Barbados had endured a tough run of fixtures, going winless in eight matches, including two heavy defeats to Dominican Republic.
They will be aiming to bounce back up to League B in the CNL when they play the same two opponents at the Wildey Turf next month.
Further wins at home in October would see Barbados taking another jump in the standings.
