Nigeria has dropped one spot to 35 in the world in the latest ranking released by the football governing body, FIFA, on Thursday.
The latest drop comes despite Nigeria’s positive outing against Brazil in the last international break earlier this month when the Super Eagles were held to a 1-1 draw by the Samba Boys in the National Stadium, Singapore.
The drop sees Nigeria move from number 34 last month to 35, making it the third consecutive drop since winning bronze in the AFCON2019 held in Egypt.
