The Super Eagles of Nigeria have been ranked 38th globally in the latest FIFA ranking released by the world governing body on Wednesday, 19th November 2025.

The Super Eagles moved up three places from 41st being their previous position in the table but still trail Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, and Algeria, who remain Africa’s top four teams, respectively, in the latest ranking.

Spain kept their hold on top spot, with Argentina, France, and England staying close behind them, respectively.

The ranking shifted after a busy international window that ended UEFA and CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers and settled the final CAF and AFC play-off fixtures.

FIFA said the new table would guide the draws for the FIFA World Cup 2026 Play-Off Tournament and the European Play-Off scheduled for Thursday in Zurich, Switzerland.

Brazil were the biggest movers in the top ten, rising two places to fifth and pushing Portugal and the Netherlands down to sixth and seventh.

FIFA confirmed that 149 matches, including 79 friendly games, were played since the previous update, prompting the latest shifts in the global ranking.

The rise follows two competitive matches played by the Super Eagles.

It could be recalled that Nigeria beat Gabon 4–1 and drew 1–1 with DR Congo before losing 4–3 on penalties in the just concluded CAF playoff matches.

The results however lifted the team despite missing out on the 2026 World Cup.

Nigeria now have 1,502.46 points, placing them fifth in Africa.
