Super Eagles Face World Cup Qualification Threat After FIFA Ranking Drop

Nigeria's Super Eagles have experienced a drop in the FIFA Ranking, putting their 2026 World Cup qualification at risk. The team is now ranked 45th globally after recent matches against Rwanda and South Africa.

With a significant point gap behind the group leader, South Africa, the Super Eagles face challenges in securing automatic qualification for the World Cup. The team will need to perform well in the upcoming matches against Lesotho and Benin Republic to improve their chances of advancing to the continental playoffs.

Failure to secure a top spot in their group could jeopardize Nigeria's participation in the prestigious tournament next year.
