Nigeria have dropped two places in the latest FIFA men’s rankings for the month of November.

The Super Eagles, who were ranked 40th in the world in the ranking released in October, dropped 16 points to 42nd.

The Eagles’ drop in the rankings was largely due to their poor start to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers earlier this month.

Jose Peseiro’s men began their World Cup qualification series with a 1-1 draw against Lesotho at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.

They followed the result up with another underwhelming performance against Zimbabwe, playing another 1-1 draw in Rwanda.

The results mean the Eagles gathered just two points from a possible six and trail Rwanda and South Africa, who are first and second respectively in their Group C.

On the African continent, the three-time African champions remain sixth.

Morocco retained their number one spot on the continent and 13th in the world.

They are followed by second-place Senegal, who also maintained their 20th place in the world.

Tunisia had a good outing in the month of November beating Sao Tome and Principe and Malawi in their two World Cup qualifiers.
