The senior national team of Nigeria remained static in the recent rankings released by world football governing body FIFA, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Despite hitting six goals in their last game against Sao Tome and Principe, the team still remained sixth ranked in Africa and also 39th in the world.
A ranking that will likely see them drop out of the seeded teams for the next Africa Cup of Nations, unless they improved on it before the draws are held for the tournament in Cote d’Ivoire as only the top five teams will be seeded in the draws.
Morocco maintained their spot as number one in Africa ahead of Senegal in second spot. Tunisia is third and fourth place is where Algeria were placed with Egypt completing the top five teams in Africa.
Globally Argentina still remains number one with France in second position ahead of Brazil who are third. England and Belgium complete the top five in 4th and 5th spot respectively.
