The drop was the result from the last two matches of the Bulgarian national football team which lost with nil-two against Holland and defeated with three-nil the team of Luxembourg, Focus news agency reported quoting the world football federation.

The two victories of Holland against Bulgaria and Albania placed the Dutch team fifth which is two positions up in the ranking.
