FIFA Rankings: Nigeria’s Super Eagles end 2024 in 44th spot

Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles, ended 2024 ranked 44th in the world, according to the final FIFA World Rankings released on Thursday.

This represents a significant drop for the team, which started the year ranked 28th after an impressive performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations where Nigeria went all the way to the final before narrowly losing to host Cote d’Ivoire.

The Super Eagles played 15 matches in 2024, winning nine, drawing four, and losing five.
