The Super Eagles of Nigeria dropped from 31st to 32nd in the latest FIFA Coca-Cola world ranking released today (Thursday).
The ranking was published on FIFA’s official website.
In Africa the Super Eagles are in number four behind 2022 World Cup bound Senegal (1st) Morocco (2nd) and Tunisia (3rd).
The slip up in the latest ranking by the Super Eagles may not be unconnected to their unimpressive display in last month’s international break.

After being held to a 2-2 draw by Algeria’s B team, the Super Eagles lost 2-1 to the A team.
Brazil will embark on their bid to win a sixth world title as Ranking leaders.
Victories against Ghana (3-0) and Tunisia (5-1) in their two friendlies last week, saw the five-time World Cup winners widened the gap between themselves and their nearest challengers, Belgium (2nd), who lost to Netherlands (8th) in the Nations League.
Argentina (3rd) complete the podium and just behind lie reigning world champions France (4th), followed by England (5th).
The only change in the top 10 saw Italy (6th) leapfrog Spain (7th) who drop down a place.
The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on 22 December 2022.

During GENERAL ROAH REIGN, WE kept on RISING but since then especially from THEIR OWN REIGN,(EGUAVEON) WE just kept DROPPING…
SMH…
Super Falcons yet again lost another match.
Super Eagles lost grounds again in Fifa rankings.
I am fast losing hope in these guys. I think I will take up watching volleyball instead. I might find more joy there (if the Sports Minister does not wake up one morning and disband the volleyball team for 10 years).
Nonsense.
This is disappointing… I hope to see positive changes asap
