Super Eagles move up while Libya drops down in latest FIFA World Ranking

Nigeria’s Super Eagles have moved up from 39th to 36th position in the latest FIFA men’s world ranking.

The latest world ranking was released Thursday morning October 24 on FIFA’s website.

In Africa, the Super Eagles also moved up, as they climbed from sixth to fourth position. This comes despite voiding the match against Libya following shoddy treatment by the Libyan government and FA during the return leg in Libya.

The Eagles are behind Morocco, who are Africa’s highest ranked team in 13th place in the world, Senegal (20th) and Egypt(30th).

Benin Republic, who will host the Eagles on matchday 5 in Group D of the AFCON 2025 qualifiers, dropped to 95 position in the ranking.

Matchday 6 opponent in the AFCON qualifiers, Rwanda, moved up in the latest ranking to 126, while Libya dropped to 122.
