MSSA releases the latest FIFA '17 rankings

Odwa Mthethwa (Maritzburg College) winner of MSSA's 23rd KwaZulu Natal Provincial Championships.

Mind Sports South Africa (MSSA) has just released its updated rankings for the esports title of 'FIFA '17'. The release of such rankings is just in time for the 6th Limpopo Championships to be held at at HTS Tom Naudé, Polokwane, on 28 & 29 October 2017.

Khahliso Malape (Fakkel School) remains the top ranked player in the country, even though Hoya Gangi (Maritzburg College), Mpho Ntsala (Fakkel School), and Odwa Mthethwa (Naritzburg College) are right on his  heels for the number one spot.

Even though the esports title of FIFA is not currently played at IeSF's Esports World Championships, MSSA does arrange test matches against other National Federations.

It is against Namibia that Khalhiso Malape won his 'spurs' in June 2017 and first officially represented South Africa.
