AFCON: Nigeria move to 3 in latest FIFA ranking

Nigeria’s impressive outing at the just concluded Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, has produced some dividends as the team moved 14 places on the FIFA ranking according to the latest placements.

In the ranking table published on the official website of the world football governing body on Thursday, the team garnered 1,522 points as against the 1,474 points garnered in December 2023.

However, their stellar performance in the tournament propelled them to a commendable 28th position in the latest rankings, showcasing their prowess on the international stage.

While in the African rankings, Nigeria’s rise is equally good. From being sixth in Africa before the AFCON, they have now climbed to the third position, underlining their prestige on the continental level.

The latest ranking reflects not only the team’s success but also the depth of talent and determination within Nigerian football.
