NPFL Drops to 91st in Global Football Rankings

The Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) has fallen to 91st place in the latest global league rankings published by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS). This marks a significant drop of 15 places from its previous position of 76th in the 2024 rankings.

The NPFL accumulated a total of 171.75 points, which places it outside the world's top 90 domestic leagues. This decline is indicative of a downturn in the league's comparative strength, particularly in the context of intensifying competition in the global football market.

The IFFHS ranking system evaluates leagues based on club performance in continental and international competitions, applying weighted metrics that extend beyond regional tournaments.
