Super Eagles Drop to 39th in FIFA World Rankings Amidst Global Football Action
Nigeria’s Super Eagles have moved down one spot to 39th in the latest FIFA World Rankings for July, maintaining their points total from June but reflecting a challenging period following disappointing World Cup Qualifier results.
Despite this decline, they hold onto the 5th position in Africa, amidst a flurry of international football activity that saw over 125 matches played across continents in June and July.
Meanwhile, Argentina remains atop the rankings after successfully defending their Copa América title, with France and Spain climbing in the standings following impressive showings in UEFA EURO 2024 and the European Championships, respectively. England and Brazil also feature prominently, while Belgium slipped three places to sixth.
It has been reported that the Nigerian Air Force has spotted some terrorist hideouts in Borno State.
The force was able to take out some of the facilities used as hideouts and disarmed some of the fighters.
The Director of Public Relations for the Air Force, Ehimen Ejodame, shared that they are beginning to catch up with and evoke fear among the terrorists.
The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has reportedly deployed 1,889 personnel across Kano State ahead of the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.

“The aim is to reduce road traffic crashes, minimise congestion, and ensure the safety of lives and property during the Eid-el-Kabir celebrations.”
