2019 AFC Asian Cup: Several teams jockeying for position

Several Asian sides will be looking to improve their FIFA Rank with the draw date for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup finals fast approaching. The Asian Football Confederation had announced that April's FIFA ranking would be used to see the teams ahead of the draw.

The draw procedure for the expanded 24-team tournament will organize teams into four pots. The five strongest sides in Asia will be placed in Pot 1, alongside the hosts, United Arab Emirates.

The decision to combine World Cup and Asian Cup qualifying will inadvertently harm teams that advanced to the final stage of World Cup qualifying- by denying them a chance to significantly add to their point totals this month.

Hosam Aiesh becomes the first Palestinian to score in the Europa League

Östersunds- the plucky Swedish club that was on nobody's radar two years ago- nearly pulled off the mother of all upsets at the Emirates Stadium last night.

Last week, Hosam Aiesh was an injury scratch as Arsenal made easy work of the Allsvenskan side in the Arctic circle. An 0-3 first leg score, featured a late penalty save from Arsenal goalkeeper David Ospina leaving the Swedish minnows needing a miracle to progress to the Round of 16 of the Europa League.

That miracle seemed to be on the cards 24 minutes into the second leg- and the man to start the comeback? Hosam Aiesh.

Palestine achieve highest ever FIFA ranking (again)

The February 2018 FIFA Ranking was released by football's governing body earlier today and Palestine have set a new milestone.

After equaling their best ever ranking of 84th in October of 2017, Palestine have gone on to set new records in every following month since.

They rose to 82nd in November, 80th in December, and 75th in the first month on 2018.

February's ranking sees Al-Fida'i climb to 73rd globally but slide one position, to 8th place, continentally.
