Eagles fail to crack Africa’s top 10

By Daily Sports on November 18, 2016

Nigeria’s recent success in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers has seen the country improve four places in the Fifa monthly rankings.

The Super Eagles have won two games on the bounce, defeating Zambia 2-1 away in Ndola and following it up with a resounding 3-1 win over Algeria in Uyo to head Group B of the Africa zone of the World Cup qualifiers.

Nigeria is now at number 60 in the world rankings, moving up four places with 562 points from the previous 534 points.

Despite the improvement in the world rankings, the Eagles are yet to crack into Africa’s top 10 sides as the Ivory Coast lead the continent for the second straight month after toppling Nigeria’s Group B rivals Algeria.

Cameroon, whom the Eagles face, are in 10th place, just one spot above the Eagles while Zambia is way down at number 94 in the world and 24th in Africa.

Argentina still occupy the top spot in the world just ahead of Germany and Brazil.
