In a recent blow to Nigerian football, the Super Eagles have slipped two places to 42nd in the latest FIFA Coca-Cola World Ranking, as revealed on FIFA's website on November 30, 2023.
The decline follows the team's less-than-ideal performance in the opening fixtures of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, where Nigeria played to 1-1 draws against Lesotho and Zimbabwe.
Currently standing third in Group C, the three-time African champions trail behind Rwanda and South Africa. This shift prompts questions about the team's strategies and dynamics, raising concerns among fans about their trajectory in the ongoing World Cup qualifiers.
