The Super Eagles have experienced a decline in the latest FIFA men’s ranking, which was released on Thursday morning.
The three-time African champions dropped eight places from 30th position to the 38th position in the FIFA ranking.
Following a 1-1 draw against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, and a subsequent 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic in a match held in Ivory Coast, the Super Eagles faced challenges in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
In Africa, Nigeria also dropped two places and is now ranked fifth behind, Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, and Cote d’Ivoire, respectively.
