Nigeria Super Eagles hold 26th place in latest FIFA world rankings
Nigeria's men's national football team, the Super Eagles, remained at 26th in FIFA's latest world rankings, keeping them third among African nations behind Morocco and Senegal. The ranking places Nigeria ahead of rivals South Africa and Ghana, and confirms Argentina's position at the top globally. Recent performances include a 2‑0 win over Zimbabwe and a 3‑0 victory against Jamaica in the Unity Cup held in London, a 2‑2 draw with Poland in Warsaw, and a narrow 2‑1 loss to Portugal in a friendly. Despite the mixed results, the team's standing reflects a strong position within Africa and the broader international football landscape.
