In the latest FIFA rankings released on Thursday, Nigeria’s national football team, the Super Eagles, dropped five places from 35th to 40th in the world.
The decline is likely due to their poor performance during the last international break, which included a loss to Guinea-Bissau in one of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
