Awww, Just See The FIFA Ranking- Nigeria Drops Fourteen Places

FIFA has released latest rankings for the month of  June & the rankings shows that, Nigeria has dropped down 14 places despite winning its match against Chad.
The Super Eagles were formally ranked as the 43rd best national team in the world and 7th in Africa but have now dropped to 57th in the world and 10th in Africa.
This comes despite the victory against Chad. The African countries topping Nigeria in ranking are: Algeria (19th), Ivory Coast (21st), Ghana 25th), Tunisia (32), Senegal (39), Cameroon (42th), Congo (47th), Cape Verde Island (52nd), Egypt (55th).

The top ten in order are: Argentina, Germany, Belgium, Columbia, Netherlands, Brazil, Portugal, Romania, England and Wales.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has confirmed that it is in talks with former Super Eagles’ captain, Sunday Oliseh, with regards to the vacant position of the team’s head coach.

It would be recalled that the NFF at the weekend terminated the appointment of another former captain, Stephen Keshi, over allegations that he breached the terms of his contract.
Nigeria is currently campaigning at the qualifiers for the 2016 Cup of Nations which will take place in Gabon. They won the tournament in 2013.
