Nigeria static on Federation Internationale de Football Association ranking

16 March, 2018

The Indian football team has gained three places to move up to 99 in the FIFA rankings for February released on Thursday.

A quiet month of worldwide football ensured there was minimal change in the global standings, with Africa's sides no different.

Bafana's highest placement in recent years was back in 2010 when they were part of the top 50, although that year also saw their lowest placement when they were - at one point - in 90th place.

While Poland, who host Nigeria on March 23rd, climbed one spot to become joint-sixth with Spain in the rankings; Serbia who play Nigeria four days after, reained their 34th position.
