The team’s poor performance is largely attributed to their disappointing results in the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 qualifiers.
Nigeria suffered a 1-2 defeat to lowly-rated Rwanda at home in Uyo and only managed a 1-1 draw with Benin Republic.
In the global rankings, Argentina retains the top spot, followed by France in second, Spain in third, and England and Brazil in fourth and fifth positions, respectively.
Niger made the biggest leap, jumping nine spots to 122nd globally with a gain of 31.23 points.
These rankings reflect a packed international football calendar, including World Cup 2026 qualifiers, AFCON 2025 matches, and Nations League fixtures.
