The Nigerian Super Eagles have remained ranked 39th in the most recent FIFA world ranking.
This follows the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifications, in which Nigeria defeated Benin Republic 3-0 and played Rwanda to a scoreless draw in Kigali.
Notwithstanding these outcomes, Nigeria continued to be ranked among the world’s top 40 football-playing nations per the most recent FIFA rating.
In Africa, Nigeria is ranked the sixth strongest, topped by Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, Cote d’Ivoire, and Tunisia.
Direct rivals, Ghana are ranked 70th while South Africa is ranked 59th.
The Eagles are still in search of their next head coach with the AFCON qualifier returning next month as they face Libya in a Group D clash.
The three-time African champions are top of their group with four points in two matches.
