Nigeria’s Super Falcons retained 36th place in the latest FIFA Women’s World Ranking but remain the top team in Africa.
- Falcons maintain 36th globally, 1st in Africa
- USA is still top, with Spain and Germany closing in
- Falcons recently beat Cameroon 2–0 in a friendly
- Portugal friendly next, ahead of WAFCON 2024
- Nigeria is grouped with Tunisia, Algeria, and Botswana
The Super Falcons may not have climbed the charts, but consistency is still a win, especially in a year where major teams are seeing volatility. Their recent win over Cameroon shows they’re not slowing down, even if the rankings didn’t shift. With preparations for WAFCON underway and Portugal next on the friendly schedule, the focus now is on match-readiness, not the scoreboard.
Can Nigeria turn stability into a statement at WAFCON? The group stage will reveal how far consistency can carry Africa’s top-ranked side.
