Nigeria’s Super Eagles dropped eight places in the latest monthly ranking released by the Federation of International Football Federation (FIFA) on Thursday.
The three-time African champions dropped from 30th to 38th position.
Recall that the Super Eagles dropped two places in the previous FIFA ranking.
The slip in the ranking follows the team’s disappointing results in the recent 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
