In the most recent FIFA men’s standings released on Thursday, the Super Eagles have risen 14 spots.
The Nigerian national team rose from 42nd to 28th place in the world rankings.
The Super Eagles have risen from sixth to third place in Africa, according to the World Football Association’s most recent ranking.
The national team’s latest ranking on the world list is its highest since May 2013.

Meanwhile, Cote d’Ivoire moved from 49th in the world to 39th, while Morocco and Senegal maintained their lead as the best African teams.
Argentina remained number one in the world in the latest ranking, while France and Brazil maintained second and third positions, respectively.
