Following their impressive display at the recently concluded African Cup on Nations in Cote D’Ivoire where they picked the silver medal after losing to the host in what different Nigerian fans at the stadium described as a hostile environment, the Super Eagle took a quantum leap up FIFA rankings.
The Super Eagles moved up 14 places in the latest FIFA men’s ranking on Thursday.
The Nigerian national team moved from the 42nd position to the 28th position in the world.
The new ranking by the world football governing body also showed that the Super Eagles have moved from sixth position to third in Africa.
This new position on the global list is the national team’s highest since May 2013.
