Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles, have experienced a slight drop in the latest FIFA World Rankings, moving down one position to 44th place. This update, released on Thursday, shows the team now has 1484.26 points, an increase of 2.91 points from their previous total.

The ranking shift comes after Nigeria’s recent international fixtures, which included two draws and a win during the latest match window. Despite the modest rise in points, the Super Eagles were overtaken by Paraguay, who now sit just above them. Meanwhile, Côte d’Ivoire fell four places to 45th, accumulating 1483.45 points after a series of disappointing results.

Okay.ng reports that the global rankings remain fiercely competitive, with Argentina maintaining their position at the summit despite a slight loss of 0.8 points. Spain surged to second place, gaining 12.45 points, while France held steady at third. England and Brazil complete the top five.

Other notable movements include Portugal and the Netherlands climbing one spot each to 6th and 7th, respectively, with Portugal recording the highest points gain among the top ten (+20.45). Germany dropped to 9th, and Italy slipped two places to 11th after losing 15.73 points.

In the broader context, Mexico made the largest leap within the top 20, jumping four places to 13th with a significant 42.79-point gain. The USA and Norway also recorded impressive point increases, each adding over 20 points.

At the bottom of the rankings, San Marino remains the lowest-ranked team at 210th with 738.24 points.

FIFA’s ranking system, updated periodically based on international match outcomes, plays a crucial role in tournament seedings and offers a snapshot of the current global football landscape.
