Super Eagles drop two places in latest FIFA ranking

The Super Eagles have experienced a slight decline in the latest FIFA men’s ranking, which was released on Thursday morning.

The three-time African champions dropped from the 28th position to the 30th position in the FIFA ranking.

The team led by incumbent coach Finidi George secured a 2-1 victory against their perennial rivals, Ghana, but suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Eagles of Mali.

Despite the drop in ranking, the Super Eagles maintained their third position in Africa, trailing behind the Atlas Lions of Morocco and the Terangha Lions of Senegal.

The top five teams on the continent are completed by the Pharaohs of Egypt and the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire.

Meanwhile, world champions Argentina retained their top position in the FIFA ranking.
