Nigeria Retained Their 40th Position In The Latest FIFA Rankings

Nigeria retained their  40th position  in the latest FIFA  rankings  released on Thursday.

The Super Eagles thus remain fourth in Africa behind Egypt, Senegal, Cameroon and Burkina Faso,  who maintained their positions.

South Africa’s Bafana Bafana, who face the Eagles in a Cameroon 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier next month,  are placed 64th in the world and 12th in Africa.

However, there were changes not minding the fact that the top 20 places stayed unaffected in the month under review. Madagascar climbed nine places up to 111th, with Malawi soaring 14 steps northward.

Overall, Brazil sit at the apex of the world with 1672 points, while Argentina are second with reigning world champions Germany third place.
