The Super Eagles of Nigeria have made a significant leap in the latest FIFA Men’s World Rankings, climbing three places to secure the 36th spot globally.
The rankings, released on October 24, also saw Nigeria advance two spots in Africa, rising to 4th place on the continent.
This upward movement reflects the team’s recent performances in international fixtures, where they have displayed resilience and skill on the field.
The Super Eagles, managed by Augustine Egoavoen, have been on a mission to solidify their status as one of Africa’s football powerhouses, and their recent rise in the rankings is a testament to their progress.
