Nigeria’s Super Eagles remained static in this World football governing body, FIFA, monthly ranking.
The three-time African champions retained its 52nd position with 609 points in the March edition of the ranking released on Thursday.
Nigeria is still seventh best country on the continent as they are ranked behind Tunisia, Senegal, Congo DR, Morocco, Egypt and Cameroon.
Super Eagles’ Group opponents at the FIFA World Cup, Argentina, Croatia and Iceland are ranked 4th, 15th and 18th in the world respectively.
With Serbia and Poland friendlies on the card, the Gernot Rohr side may improve their standing on the log in next edition of the ranking.
Meanwhile, the top five is unaltered, with Germany still on top, while Poland (6th, up one) are the only movers in the top 20, having climbed into joint-sixth position alongside Spain.
That rise leaves the World Cup-bound Poles just one place short of their best-ever Ranking position.
The next FIFA World Ranking is slated for April 12, 2018.
