Nigeria have dropped two places in the latest FIFA men’s
rankings for the month of October.
The Super Eagles, who were ranked 34th in the world in the
ranking released in September, dropped 14 points to 36th.
The Eagles’ drop in the rankings was largely due to their
1-0 home defeat to Central African Republic in their 2022 World Cup qualifier
earlier this month.
Gernot Rohr’s men would go on to beat CAR 2-0 in the reverse
fixture of their doubleheader, but it was not enough to prevent them from
dropping in the rankings.
However, the three-time African champions are still the
fifth-ranked team in Africa, with Senegal also retaining their number one spot
on the continent and 20th in the world. They are followed by second-place
Tunisia, who also dropped one place in the world to 27th.
Morocco moved above African champions Algeria into third
place, while Nigeria complete the top five places in Africa.
Meanwhile, Belgium remain the number one ranked side despite
losing two matches in the UEFA Nations League.
Brazil are second, with France moving ahead of England into
third position. Italy also moved up one spot into fourth place, while The Three
Lions round up the top five spots.
