The Super Eagles of Nigeria has retained its fourth position but moved down to 44th position in the latest FIFA Coca Cola World Rankings released on Thursday.

The released rankings also showed that Nigeria also retained her 1427 points from the previous list in December.

According to the statement by FIFA, the Asian Cup has been responsible for the notable changes in the rankings, with the scarcity of games in other confederations leaving the top 20 unchanged, and Belgium still in pole position.

Further down the table, Qatar is not the only team to have ascended in spectacular style.

Fellow finalists, Japan (27th, up 23) have also soared up the order, while Korea Republic (38th, up 15), United Arab Emirates (67th, up 12) and Jordan (97th, up 12) all registered double-digit gains.

There were also significant upward moves by the likes of Iraq (80th, up 8), Iran (22nd, up 7) and Uzbekistan (89th, up 6).

Another consequence of these changes is that Asia has boosted its numbers in the Ranking’s top 50.

The Asian Football Confederation is now represented by four teams up, one on the last edition, and now stands level with Africa, whose numbers have been depleted by Congo DR (51st, down 2) dropping out.

Behind is Morrocco who garnered 1440 points after descending three places, from 40th placed in the previous list to 43rd.
