However, despite the slight global improvement, the [[https://snowboardwiki.net/index.php?title=User:VeolaBraun01243|team dropped]] one place within Africa, falling out of the continent’s top five.

Nigeria’s rise comes on the back of their recent World Cup qualifying campaign, where they beat Rwanda 2-0 in Kigali but were held to a 1-1 draw by Zimbabwe at home in Uyo.

Nigeria’s upward movement in FIFA’s global rankings might appear encouraging on the surface, but the real headline is the drop out of Africa’s top five a sobering reflection of the competitive gap emerging on the continent.



While victories like the one over Rwanda do contribute to the point tally, draws against lower-ranked teams like Zimbabwe expose the inconsistency that continues to plague the Super Eagles. In a continent as competitive as Africa, slipping even one position can have ramifications in tournament seedings and qualification draws.



It’s also a warning. Nations like Côte d’Ivoire and Egypt are consolidating momentum, while Nigeria continues to hover on the edge neither falling apart nor pushing forward. For a team with such immense talent and global presence, mediocrity cannot be the norm.



Head coach Eric Chelle must now focus not only on results but also on dominance. The only way back into Africa’s top tier is through assertive, consistent performances—anything less will keep [[https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/player-profiles/asisat-oshoalas-move-to-bay-fc-financial-sporting-view/|Nigeria]] on the fringes.
