World football governing body FIFA have released the latest ranking of teams following the conclusion of games in the last international window, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The Super Eagles slipped to 45th in the ranking made public today by FIFA, it is their lowest position in over six years, and it came despite an unbeaten run in the world cup qualifiers under new coach Eric Chelle.
They picked up wins over Rwanda and forced South Africa to a 1-1 draw away from home, but it wasn’t enough as they also sit sixth on the African continent, behind Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, Algeria and Côte d’Ivoire.
