PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC) - Trinidad and Tobago's Soca Warriors have retained the No 1 ranking in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) for the month of May.

With a world ranking of 88th, T&T kept the region's top spot ahead of Jamaica, with Cuba at No 3 in the list collated from FIFA's latest Coca Cola World Rankings released yesterday.

Eight-time Caribbean Cup champions T&T are enjoying a third consecutive month as the CFU's No 1 team after returning there - for the first time in six months - in March.

Jamaica's Reggae Boyz retained second spot but slipped two places on FIFA's list to 105th, their lowest ever ranking since the FIFA ratings were introduced in August 1993.
The CFU's 2007 Team of the Year Haiti lost the No 3 position in the region after dropping seven places on FIFA's world list to 113th.

Cuba, 109th in the world, moved up No 3 in the CFU and Guyana (110th) also jumped one place to fourth in the region.

The bottom half of the Top-10 is exactly as it was a month ago, with Barbados, 117th in the world at No 6, followed by Antigua & Barbuda (127th), Bermuda (139th), Grenada (143rd) and Suriname (144th) in 10th spot.

Former Caribbean Cup runners-up St Vincent & the Grenadines are just outside the CFU's Top-10 at 11th with a FIFA rating of 145th.

Movement generally in the CFU was very marginal this month and there were no positional changes outside the
Top-10 in the region.
Mexico and the USA continued to rule the ratings for CONCACAF, the Confederation of North, Central America and Caribbean Association Football.

Ranked 17th in the world, the Mexicans stay No 1 in CONCACAF ahead of the USA, who are 21st.
Honduras are third in the confederation at No 36 on the FIFA list.

Canada (62nd) and Panama (67th) are fourth and fifth respectively in CONCACAF, with Costa Rica (77th), Trinidad and Tobago, Guatemala (91st), Jamaica and Cuba completing CONCACAF's Top-10.

There is no change among the world's top teams, with Argentina at No 1, stalked by Brazil and Italy, with Spain fourth and Germany fifth.
