The Super Eagles of Nigeria have dropped a
point from last month’s 47th position to 48
place in the world, and from sixth to seventh
in the continent, in the latest FIFA rankings.
The statement on FIFA’s website today said
the recent flurry of pre-FIFA World Cup
friendlies left its mark on the latest rankings.
While the top three positions are unchanged
as Germany, Brazil and Belguim sit
respectively, Russia-bound duo of Poland and
Uruguay have succeeded in making strides
within the top 20.

continent’s top ranked team.
The next rankings will be released on July 19.
