The February edition of the FIFA World Ranking has been released today.
Following their impressive victory at the Africa Cup of Nations, the Super Eagles of Nigeria moved up 22 places to the 30th position on the list, which is the country’s best ranking since August 2010.
The Super Eagles defeated the Stallions of Burkina Faso 1-0 on Sunday to win their third African title in Johannesburg.
This made them climb up sharply on the global rankings to 30th place and fourth in Africa. They were 52nd globally and number nine in Africa when the Afcon commenced in January.
Cote D’Ivoire remain the top country in Africa as they climbed two places up to 12th worldwide despite failing to get past the quarter final stage. Ghana and Mali remain in second and third place.
Algeria, Tunisia, Zambia, Central African Republic, Burkina Faso and South Africa make up the top ten countries in Africa.
Spain, Germany, Argentina, England and Italy hold the top five spots globally.
The next FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking will be published on 14 March 2013
Common sense is indeed not common.
