Fifa Ranking: Nigeria Move Up One Spot But Slip Out Of Africas Top 5
Nigerias Super Eagles have dropped out of the top five teams in Africa, as the latest FIFA rankings see reigning Africa Cup of Nations AFCON champions Cote dIvoire overtake them for fifth place on the continent.
The rankings, released on Thursday, reflect Nigerias inconsistent form in recent months, with the three-time African champions now ranked sixth in Africa.
Since their heartbreaking loss to Cote dIvoire in the AFCON final in February, the Super Eagles have struggled for consistency.
In their last 11 matches across all competitions, Nigeria has won just four, drawn four, and lost three.
Their 2025 campaign started on a high note with a solid 2-0 away victory against Rwanda in the World Cup qualifiers.
