The Super Eagles, Nigeria’s national football team, have achieved a significant milestone in the latest FIFA men’s world ranking. In the ranking released on Thursday, October 24, the Super Eagles have moved up from 39th to 36th place. This positive change reflects the team’s hard work and determination on the international stage.

In addition to their global ranking, the Super Eagles have also improved their standing within Africa. They have climbed from sixth to fourth place among African teams. This places them behind Morocco, which is the highest-ranked African team at 13th in the world, followed by Senegal at 20th and Egypt at 30th. The climb in rankings not only boosts the morale of the team but also heightens expectations for their upcoming matches.

As the Super Eagles prepare for the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, they will face Benin Republic, who will host them in matchday 5. Unfortunately for Benin, they have slipped in the rankings, now sitting at 95th place. This could present an opportunity for the Super Eagles to secure a valuable win in their quest for AFCON qualification.

Additionally, the Eagles will meet Rwanda in matchday 6 of the qualifiers. Rwanda has seen an improvement in their ranking as well, moving up to 126th place. Meanwhile, Libya has experienced a decline, dropping to 122nd. These matchups will be crucial for the Super Eagles as they aim to solidify their position and advance in the qualifiers.

The Super Eagles’ ascent in the FIFA rankings is a testament to their potential and talent. As they gear up for their next matches, fans are hopeful that this momentum will carry through and lead to success in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers. With the team’s improved ranking and the support of their fans, the Super Eagles are poised for an exciting future in international football.
