The Super Eagles of Nigeria have experienced a slight drop in spot in the latest World FIFA rankings.
The Super Eagles, who are currently without a manager, fell to 39th in the newly-released rankings, one place below their previous position.

Despite the drop in position, Nigeria have remained among the highest-ranked teams in Africa.
