Nigeria’s Super Eagles dropped five spots in the latest Federation of International Football Association (FIFA), ranking released on Thursday, at the world’s football governing body headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.
The three-time African champions are now ranked 67th in the world and 14th in the continent.
Nigeria were ranked 11th and 62nd in Africa and the world respectively in the month of February, but the nation’s poor outing in the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) double header against the Pharaohs of Egypt may have contributed to the further slid down the ladder.
The Super Eagles once again failed to qualify to the continental showpiece, Gabon AFCON 2017 after losing 1-0 to Egypt.
