Nigeria’s Super Eagles, coached by Jose Peseiro, have dropped down the FIFA rankings.
The team, who fell 1-0 to Guinea Bissau last month, is currently ranked 40th in the world, down from 35th in the previous ranking released in December.
Nigeria was the fifth-ranked team in Africa, below FIFA World Cup semifinalists Morocco, African champions Senegal, Tunisia, and Cameroon. But in the latest ranking, Egypt has overtaken Nigeria and climbed into fifth place. Cameroon also fell three places, from fourth to seventh.
