Nigeria’s Super Eagles have moved up four places in the current FIFA Rankings, rising from 36th to 32nd on Thursday, February 10.
Despite an early withdrawal from the recently finished Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon, Nigeria moved from fifth to third place in Africa, behind only Senegal and Morocco, after overtaking Algeria and Tunisia in the standings.
Senegal, the AFCON champions, remains the best team on the continent, with Morocco, Nigeria, Egypt, Tunisia, Cameroon, Algeria, Mali, and the Ivory Coast rounding out the top ten.
The just-concluded Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon helped the Super Eagles garner 31.13 points during the period under review after securing three group-stage victories against Egypt, Sudan, and Guinea-Bissau before falling to Tunisia at the Round-of-16.
Nigeria garnered the third-highest points (31.13) behind AFCON finalists Egypt (45.28) and AFCON hosts and bronze medalists Cameroon (43.47).
Globally, Belgium retains the number one spot , followed by Brazil, France, Argentina, England, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Denmark, and Netherlands.
