Nigeria’s women’s national football team, the Super Falcons, have improved their world ranking from 42 to 40, about 40 days before the commencement of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
The Nigerian team is still No. 1 in Africa, followed by South Africa, Cameroon, Ghana, and Côte d’Ivoire. This is still way below their best-ever ranking of 31, which they achieved in July 2019.
The last ranking before the new one was released on 24 March and between then and now the team has played two friendly matches, which they won. They beat Haiti 2-1 on 7 April, and got the better of World Cup hosts New Zealand 3-0 on 11 April.
