THE Super Eagles of Nigeria have maintained their 42nd position in the current FIFA football tournament for the end of the year 2023.
The three-time African champions were ranked 40th in October before dropping to 42nd in November and have now remained in the 42nd position going into the New Year.
The 42nd place ranking in the World means the Eagles remain in the top 50 in the world and ranked sixth in Africa, behind Morocco (13th), Senegal (20th), Tunisia (28th), Algeria (30th), and Egypt (33rd).
However, the Super Eagles are ahead of the Black Stars of Ghana, the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon, and the Elephants of Cote D’Ivoire, and will be hoping to move higher when the Africa Cup of Nations kicks off on January 13, 2024.
On the world stage, world champions Argentina remain top of the ranking ahead of Kylian Mbappe-starred France, the Three Lions of England, Brazil, and Belgium.
The Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Croatia make up the rest of the top ten. The next FIFA Men’s World Ranking will be published on February 15, 2024.
