Nigeria Drops To 36th In Latest FIFA Rankings Despite Good Run + See Full Lis

The Super Eagles Of Nigeria have dropped three place to the 36th position from the 33rd they were last month in the latest FIFA Rankings released today 28th, November 2013.

This was despite a very good run for the Nigerian national team. The Eagles qualified for the World Cup few weeks ago after conveniently easing out their Ethopian counterparts and following it up with a well-played draw with the Azurris of Italy some days after.

The drop is likely because of the 1-0 loss to Jordan by the home-based Eagles during an international friendly recently.

The top 5 African teams according to the new rankings are:

1.Cote D'Ivoire (918pts, 17th in the world)

2.Ghana (849pts, 24th in the world)

3.Algeria (800pts, 26th in the world)

4.Nigeria (710pts, 36th in the world)

5.Egypt (699pts, 38th in the world)

The new FIFA Rankings will be used for seeding in the upcoming World Cup grouping and we wait to see how this new ranking will affect the Super Eagles chances.
