The Super Eagles have been rewarded for their
victory in Addis Ababa with an upward move in
the Fifa rankings released on Thursday
Nigeria have moved up to the 33rd position in
the latest Fifa global rankings released on
Thursday. The Super Eagles gained three spots
from last month's ranking following their
victory against Ethiopia in Sunday's World Cup
first leg play-off in Addis Ababa.
The Super Eagles have had a topsy-turvy year
rising to 28th position in May but falling down
to 36th in September. Their recent victory over
Ethiopia has now pushed them up three places
on the rankings.
Meanwhile, Ethiopia dropped two spots to
finish 95 ahead of their return leg against
Nigeria in Calabar next month.
Cote D'Ivoire continue to be the top ranked
African side moving up two places to 17 this
month. Ghana also moved up one spot to
finish in 23rd position while Algeria dropped
four spots to finish in 32nd position just ahead
of Nigeria.
Spain remain the leading country in the world
followed by Germany, Argentina, Colombia and
Belgium in the top five.
