Nigeria has fallen to the 38th position in the latest FIFA rankings released on Thursday.
The Super Eagles now have 1498.93 points, down from their previous 1520.27 points.
Swifteradio.com gathered that Nigeria’s decline follows its dismal performance in the last two games after the African Cup of Nations, where they emerged as runners-up after losing 2-1 to the host nation Cote d’Ivoire.
The Super Eagles played a 1-1 draw against Bafana Bafana of South Africa in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, and suffered a 2-1 defeat to Benin Republic in a match played in Ivory Coast.
Nigeria’s hopes for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers remain very shaky.
Argentina remains top position in the rankings and is the leading football nation in the world.
The South American giants gained 2.14 points, bringing their total to 1860.14, reflecting their consistent high-level performance in recent tournaments.
