FIFA ranking: April 2019 final preview
FIFA will publish the ranking next Thursday April 4th.
I've assumed that of all NT-matches with two FIFA-members in it and played between February 4th and March 31st the following friendlies will be excluded:
2019-02-25 Cuba - Bermuda 2:2 (closed door match)
2019-03-10 Mozambique - Swatini 1:1
2019-03-16 Suriname - Guyana 3:1
2019-03-25 Kuwait - Nepal 1:0
2019-03-26 Ghana - Mauritania 3:1
2019-03-26 Nicaragua - Guatemala 0:1
See here for 'my inclusion rules'. We will see next Thursday how many corrections on these assumptions I need :)

Which matches to include, that's the question. FIFA no longer maintains their fixture-list on their site. They direct you to the live scores section on their app for that. After a thorough examination of their whole app I found a selection of NT-tournaments match results.
