Super Eagles Slip to 44th in Latest FIFA Ranking — Time for Introspection or Just a Bump?
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have dropped one spot in the latest FIFA men’s world rankings, now sitting at 44th globally, as confirmed in the release by the football governing body on Thursday.
Despite a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Russia at the historic Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, the three-time African champions couldn't hold on to their previous standing — slipping slightly on the global scale.
On the continental level, Nigeria is now fifth in Africa, behind:
🇲🇦 Morocco
🇸🇳 Senegal
🇪🇬 Egypt
🇩🇿 Algeria
💬 Our Take: Is This Just a Temporary Setback or a Deeper Concern?
The ranking drop may appear minor, but it reflects a broader need for consistency and direction in the national team’s development. With talented players scattered across Europe and a new generation emerging, the Super Eagles have the potential to be much higher, both in Africa and globally.
The recent draw with Russia was respectable, but fans and analysts alike are calling for greater tactical coherence, stronger leadership, and bolder match performances — especially as we approach crucial AFCON and World Cup qualifiers.
Nigeria has the talent. What we need now is vision, chemistry, and winning consistency.
