FIFA confirmed the latest ranking for May 2024 on its official website on Thursday, June 20, 2024. Nigeria went down from 30th to 38th in the world ranking and fifth in Africa. The top four teams on the continent are Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, and Cote d’Ivoire.
Nigeria’s current ranking was due to the team’s poor results against South Africa and Benin Republic, which ended in a draw and defeat, respectively.
