FIFA ranking: Eagles move to 38th spot

Nigeria’s Super Eagles has moved to two places up to the 38th position in the latest World football governing body, FIFA rankings.
The three-time African champions with 730 points were also ranked as fourth best team on the continent behind Egypt, Senegal, and Cameroon.
The Gernot Rohr-side will aim to improve their ranking with a friendly tie against Hawks of Togo this evening in Paris and the African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
With just ten international friendlies taking place since the May edition, there is little surprise that most of the top ten remain unchanged, with Brazil, Argentina and another Confederations Cup contender Germany retaining their place as the top three. However, Poland (tenth, up one place) have managed to gatecrash the top ten for the first time in the Ranking’s history, with the side currently sitting top of Group E in the UEFA section of World Cup qualifying joining Spain on 1198 ranking points, meaning they share tenth spot.
The next FIFA World Ranking will be published on 6 July 2017.
