The Super Eagles of Nigeria have risen in the most recent FIFA rankings, which were made public on June 29, 2023.

The Super Eagles are now placed 39th, up from their previous position of 40th from the April ranking.

The three-time African champions improved one rank from last April by accruing a total of 5.68.

Nigeria only competed in one match during the most recent international period, a 3-2 victory against Sierra Leone that guaranteed them a spot in the Ivory Coast’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.

Erling Haaland’s Norway, the Black Stars of Ghana, the Elephants of Cote d’Ivoire, and the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon are all kept above Jose Peserio’s troops during the movement.

The Super Eagles continue to rank among the top six teams in Africa, which is great news for them because it means they will be among the top seeds when the AFCON draw is held later this year.

Morocco, which now holds the top spot in Africa, is ranked 13th in the world.

The Teranga Lions of Senegal (18th), the Carthage Eagles of Tunisia (31) the Algerian Desert Warriors (33) and the Egyptian Pharaohs (34) come after them.

Argentina continues to be the top-ranked country in the world.
