Nigeria has moved up a spot from the 32nd position they occupied last month to the 33 rd position in the latest rankings released by FIFA yesterday.
The Super Eagles have 673 ranking points, nine points from last month’s 664 points, to move up one step in the table despite not playing any match since the last rankings were released.
The points however, did not change the country’s position on the continent as Nigeria still sits third behind last month’s top two teams; Algeria and Cote d’Ivoire.
The North Africans added eight points to July’s 872 points to cement their first place on the continent. The points were also enough for them to remain as the 24th best football playing team in the world.
Cote d’Ivoire dropped 10 points from July’s 850 points to have 840 points in August but the point was also enough to have them tail Algeria as the 25th team in the world.
