The Matildas have slipped to their the same worst position in the history of the FIFA World Rankings.
After losing all three games on the recent Shelieves Cup in the United States, the Matildas fell in one place at number 16.
The Matildas last held the same ranking in 2005, two years after FIFA introduced the women’s classification.
They lost from Japan (4-0), the United States (2-1) and Colombia (2-1) in the Shelieves Cup and are still looking for a new full-time coach to replace Tony Gustavsson, who left after the Paris Olympic Games.
The Matildas did not progress from the group stage at the Olympic Games last year after producing a 1-2 win-loss record of their three polar competitions.
Tom Sermanni holds the fort as an interim coach while Football Australia is looking for the replacement of Gustavsson.
But with three wins, two draws and seven losses from their last 12 games, the Matildas do not show any signs of standing up from a slump that was not helped due to the absence of the long term due to the injury of Sam Kerr.
The Matildas were arranged as number four in 2017.
The newest FIFA rankings have the United States that retain its first place for Spain, Germany and England.
Japan, the winner of the Shelieves Cup, completed the top five, after he has risen three places in the ranking.
