Nigeria has again fallen to the 38th position in the latest FIFA rankings released on Thursday.
However, Argentina maintained its top position in the rankings, solidifying its status as the leading football nation in the world.
The Super Eagles now have 1498.93 points, a decrease from their previous 1520.27 points.
This drop marks a significant shift in the global football landscape, as Nigeria continues to face challenges on the international stage.
Nigeria’s hopes for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers remain doubtful, as the nation failed to secure victories in these crucial matches.
Formerly ranked 30th, Nigeria’s decline follows its performance in the two matches after the African Cup of Nations, where they emerged as runners-up after losing 2-1 to the host nation.
