The Super Eagles of Nigeria dropped to the 40th position in the latest FIFA men’s world ranking.
The ranking was released on FIFA’s official website on Thursday, 6th April.
Due to their poor form, the Super Eagles also drop in Africa as they occupy a sixth place on the continent.
Guinea-Bissau, who beat the Eagles 1-0 on match day three of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Abuja, climbed to 113 spot.
The Eagles’ next opponent in the AFCON qualifiers, Sierra Leone, dropped to 117 in the ranking.
Morocco, semi-finalists at the Qatar 2022 World Cup, maintained their number one spot in Africa and 11th in the world.
