Costa Rican soccer team Puntarenas remains the best club in the region despite the fall of 33 places to 139th in the world club ranking published on Wednesday by the International Football History and Statistics Federation.
The fall was caused by a loss to Saprissa, also from Costa Rica, in the quarterfinals of the Central American Football Union (Uncaf) Inter-club Tournament.
The second in the region is Honduras's Motagua, 166th worldwide, followed by Guatemala's Municipal, 211th and two Costa Rican club's Alajuelense, 214th and Saprissa 220th.
The Uncaf tournament semifinals feature Saprissa facing Alajuelense and Motagua tackling Municipal: the region's second to fifth rated clubs.
The Uncaf tournament features 16 clubs comprising the champions and runners-up in local leagues and offers three places in the 2008 Confederation of North, Central American and Caribbean Association Football (Concacaf) Cup.
