In the latest rankings released by FIFA on Friday morning, Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles, climbed one spot, moving from 40th to 39th place.
Although they improved their position, they still maintain their sixth position in Africa. This slight progress can be attributed to their recent victory against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone, where they emerged victorious with a score of 3-2 in Monrovia.
This win secured their qualification for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. At the top of the rankings, the Atlas Lions of Morocco maintain their position as the number one team in Africa, followed by the Terangha Lions of Senegal and the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia in second and third place, respectively. The Desert Foxes of Algeria and the Pharaohs of Egypt complete the top five teams.
