Nigeria Super Eagles are now 36th in the World ranking, a rise of three steps over their previous position. That is the outcome of the latest ranking released Thursday by FIFA.

In so doing, the Super Eagles also rose in continental ranking as they are now number four after Morocco, Senegal and Egypt.

Victories over Benin Republic and Libya in their first leg matches of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers as well as a valuable point obtained in their away game with Rwanda contributed to their rise.
