Nigeria’s Super Eagles have dropped one spot to 44th in the latest FIFA World Rankings released on Thursday, July 10, 2025, marking a slight dip in global standing. Despite the decline, the team remains fifth in Africa, behind Morocco (12th), Senegal (18th), Egypt (34th), and Algeria (36th).
The drop follows a period of mixed results, including friendly matches and tournament appearances. Notably, Nigeria’s recent Unity Cup win in London was not factored into the rankings, as it fell outside FIFA’s designated international window.
Coach Eric Chelle remains unbeaten since taking charge, and the team continues to outperform regional rivals like Ghana (76th) and South Africa (56th). The next opportunity to improve their standing will come during the September round of World Cup qualifiers.
