Super Eagles Climb to 43rd in FIFA Rankings but Drop to Sixth in Africa
The Super Eagles of Nigeria have moved up one spot in the latest FIFA men’s rankings, which were released on Thursday.
This is the first ranking of 2025, and Nigeria jumped from 44th to 43rd place. However, the team dropped to sixth in Africa, with Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, Algeria, and Côte d’Ivoire leading the continent’s top five.
In the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers last month, the Super Eagles played two matches, winning 2-0 against Rwanda at the Amahoro Stadium in Kigali, but drawing 1-1 with Zimbabwe at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
Meanwhile, Argentina remains at the top of the global rankings, followed by Spain, France, England, and Brazil in the top five.
Liverpool have released a list of players who are confirmed to leave the club this summer.

The players who have been offered fresh terms include Kyle Kelly, Afolami Onanuga, Oliver O’Connor, Lucas Pitt, Ben Trueman, Matthew Wright, Prince Cisse, and Keyrol Figueroa.
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has urged Ademola Lookman to consider a move to Galatasaray.
It can be noted that Lookman recently completed a transfer to Atlético Madrid, and since then, many European clubs have shown interest in the player.
Osimhen then shared an encouraging message to the player, stating that he would be welcome at Galatasaray.
“We are waiting for you at Galatasaray. Come and be a part of this family.”
French footballer Kylian Mbappé has spoken on which player between Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo will score more goals at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
It can be noted that the FIFA World Cup will begin on Thursday and will be co-hosted by the USA, Mexico, and Canada.
The player picked Lionel Messi to score more goals than Ronaldo during the tournament.
