FIFA released its latest men’s world ranking on Thursday, June 20. Following their disappointing results in the twin FIFA world cup qualifying matches in June, the Super Eagles of Nigeria dropped eight places to occupy No.38 in the world.
In Africa, the coachless Super Eagles team are placed No.5, with Morroco, Senegal, Egypt, and Ivory Coast ahead of them.
Meanwhile, Argentina retain their place at the summit of the FIFA ranking.
But it is Liberia (142nd, up 10) who have gained the most ground over the period, with the Lone Stars still unbeaten in 2024.
The next edition of the FIFA men’s world ranking will be published on July 18, 2024.
