No Improvement for Super Eagles in World Ranking

Nigeria’s Senior National team, the Super Eagles remain unmoved on 67th on the latest Fifa world rankings released Thursday, May 5.

Although the Super Eagles was not involved in action for the month of April, the team managed to retain her position having slipped five places to the 67th on the previous world ranking.

Nigeria, Africa’s three-time champions also retained her 14th position on the continent trailing Algeria, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Senegal, Egypt, Cape Verde, Tunisia, Congo DR, Guinea, Congo, Cameroon, Morocco and Mali.

The Fennec Foxes of Algeria continue to be Africa’s best-ranked team on 33rd, one ranking spot ahead of reigning continental champions Cote d’Ivoire.
