In the latest FIFA ranking for September 2023, Nigeria has dropped from the African top 5.

Despite Nigeria’s dominant performance against Sao Tome and Principe, where the Super Eagles won 6-0 in the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifier, the victory had little impact on their ranking.

As per the recent announcement, the Super Eagles are now placed 40th in the world rankings and 6th in Africa.

Morocco has risen two places to 13th, maintaining its status as the top-ranked African nation.
