The Super Eagles of Nigeria maintained the 40th position in the latest FIFA World ranking released on Thursday morning.
Jose Peseiro’s side also remains in sixth position in Africa.
Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria and Egypt are the top five teams on the continent.
Though the Super Eagles gained 1.62 points in the month under review to take their total point to 1490.48, they, however, maintained their position at 40th place.
The Eagles had played a 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia in a friendly game before beating Mozambique 3-2 in their other game which did not have much effect on their position on the rankings table.
Jose Peseiro’s team witnessed a significant drop in the ranking in April, falling to 40th, following their December ranking of 35th in Africa.
The major reason for this drop was suggested to be their non-participation in the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
Nigeria held 39th in the rankings in June and July but slipped back to 40th in September.
