The Super Eagles of Nigeria have kept the 40th position in the latest world ranking released by the Fédération of Internationale Football Association (FIFA).

Nigeria had dropped from 39th to 40th in the previous FIFA world ranking published on 21 September despite recording a 6-0 win against São Tomé and Principe in their final 2023 AFCON qualifier.

The team, however, retained their position in the latest world ranking which was published on the website of FIFA after playing a 2-2 draw with Saudi Arabia and beating Mozambique 3-2 during the last international break.

Also in Africa, the Super Eagles did not change position as they remained at number six.

FIFA 2022 World Cup semi-finalist Morocco are the number one team in Africa and are followed by African Cup of Nations champions, Senegal.

In third place is Tunisia, Algeria are fourth and Egypt occupy the fifth position on the continent.
