Super Eagles maintain position in latest FIFA ranking

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have maintained their position in the latest FIFA world rankings, holding steady at 26th globally.

This latest ranking following the consistency of results in recent times which comes after a significant rise earlier in the year, signaling stability in their recent performances on the international stage. Nigeria also maintained their spot in Africa as they are currently ranked third on the continent.

Their standing reflects continued competitiveness against top African sides and reinforces their reputation as one of the strongest national teams heading into upcoming international fixtures. The Super Eagles’ rise in previous rankings was largely driven by their impressive outing at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, where they secured a third-place finish.

That performance earned them a notable jump in points and positions, helping to re-establish Nigeria as a force in global football. The ability of the Super Eagles to maintain this position is a positive sign for the team’s progress, as consistency is key in climbing higher in the rankings.

The Super Eagles will be aiming to break into the top 20 and further strengthen their global standing.
