Despite crashing out of the qualifying series for the 2026 World Cup, the Super Eagles have climbed to 38th in the latest FIFA Ranking.
They thus climbed three spots up in the global ratings and are also fifth in Africa.
They are the only team in the Top 5 not heading to next year’s Mundial.
In the month under review, they beat Gabon 4-1 after extra time, before they lost 4-3 on penalties to DR Congo in the Playoffs final.
