Northern Ireland have moved up four places to 32nd in the latest FIFA World Rankings.
Since the last World Ranking update in October, Michael O'Neill's men beat Azerbaijan 4-0 in a FIFA World Cup qualifier and lost to Croatia in a Vauxhall International Challenge Match which was their final game of 2016.
It has already been a record year for Northern Ireland with a FIFA World Ranking high acheived in June of 25th.
However, Northern Ireland will have to wait to see where they will end up in 2016 with the last ranking update on December 22.
