Nigeria's Super Eagles Drop to 45th in FIFA Rankings, Out of Top 5 in Africa

Nigeria's national football team, the Super Eagles, dropped to 45th in FIFA's latest World Rankings, falling out of the top 5 in Africa. Despite maintaining a similar point tally to the previous edition, the team experienced a one-spot decline.

The ranking update reflects a mixed performance with two victories, one draw, and two defeats in the continental stage. Globally, Spain claimed the top spot for the first time since 2014.

The dynamic nature of football standings was underscored by over 200 international matches shaping the rankings. The Super Eagles' inconsistency remains a concern as they aim to stabilize their form for upcoming fixtures.
