Nigeria
have slipped four places to 41st in the latest Fifa world rankings, released on
Thursday.
The
African champions are placed seventh on the continent, behind Cote d’Ivoire,
Ghana, Algeria, Egypt, Cape Verde Islands and Mali.
Globally,
there is no change in the top 25 teams, with Spain still leading the way,
followed by Germany, Argentina, Colombia and Portugal. World Cup hosts Brazil
are 10th.
The Super
Eagles played two matches in the last ranking window, beating Ethiopia 2-1
before losing 2-1 to Mali in their African Nations Championship (Chan) opener
on January 1.
Stephen
Keshi’s men defeated Mozambique 4-2 yesterday, and next face tournament hosts
South Africa on Sunday.
Chan is
an event reserved for footballers plying their trade in the country of their
birth.
