Super Eagles drop eight places in FIFA Ranking

Super Eagles of Nigeria have dropped eight places in the latest monthly ranking released by the Federation of International Football Federation (FIFA) on Thursday.

The Super Eagles dropped from 30th to 38th position.

It would be recalled that the three-time African champions dropped two places in the previous FIFA ranking.

The slip in the ranking follows the team’s disappointing results in the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

The Super Eagles held the Bafana Bafana of South Africa to a 1-1 draw at home and lost 2-1 away against the Cheetahs of Benin Republic.

The Super Eagles are, however, among the top five teams in Africa.

Morocco are the highest ranked country on the continent, with Senegal in second position. Egypt and Cote d’Ivoire occupy third and fourth positions, respectively.
