Nigeria's Super Eagles Drop to 45th in FIFA World Rankings.
Nigeria's men's national football team, the Super Eagles, dropped to 45th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, falling one spot due to disappointing results in recent World Cup qualifiers. The team now holds 45th position globally, with fitness concerns among key players affecting performance.
This decline in ranking means Nigeria is no longer among Africa's top five teams, now ranking sixth on the continent. The team faces challenges as they aim to secure their spot in the upcoming World Cup, with upcoming crucial fixtures against Lesotho and Benin.
Coach Éric Chelle's recent appointment signals a new era for the team as they strive to improve their form and rankings.
