Super Falcons Of Nigeria Drop On Latest FIFA Rankings, See Top 40 Women’s Team

The Super Falcons of Nigeria have dropped two spots in the latest FIFA World Rankings despite winning their last two games.

The Super Falcons have not lost a game since they lost on penalties against England in the 2023 FIFA World Cup round of 16 on August 7, 2023.

Their present form won them the best women’s national team in Africa at the 2023 CAF awards.

In their last four games, they recorded one draw and grabbed three emphatic wins – 4-0 against Ethiopia, and home and away victories against Cape Verde – as they qualified for the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations with ease.

Despite such a run, the Super Falcons dropped from the 32nd spot in the world to the 34th spot according to the rankings FIFA released earlier today, December 15.

The Super Falcons are still the number one team in Africa according to FIFA and are the only African team in the world top 40 currently.
