Nigeria continued their impressive rise in football after
climbing to 60th in the latest FIFA Rankings, which
were released by the world football body on Thursday.
Three-time African champions moved up four spots
in the rankings from 64 to 60, while their 2018 World
Cup qualifying opponents Algeria and Cameroon
retained their previous spots. The other team in their
group, Zambia, failed to progress in the rankings.
The Super Eagles are also ranked 11th in Africa, after
their 1-0 victory at home against Tanzania in
September in an inconsequential Gabon 2017 Africa
Cup of Nations qualifier was followed by a 2-1 victory
over Zambia in their opening Russia 2018 World Cup
qualifiers in Ndola on October 9.
