Nigeria’s Super Eagles have dropped eight places in the latest FIFA Men’s World Ranking for November, slipping from 36th to 44th position, the biggest drop among the ranked countries.
The rankings, released by FIFA on Thursday, also saw the Nigerian national team fall from 4th to 5th place in Africa.
This drop is likely tied to the Super Eagles’ disappointing performances in their final qualifying matches for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
In November, Nigeria was held to a 1-1 draw by Benin Republic in Côte d’Ivoire and suffered a 1-2 defeat to Rwanda in Uyo.
