Nigeria have slipped to 35th position on the latest Fifa global rankings for November.<\/p>\n
The Super Eagles dropped three places from their previous position after settling for back-to-back draws against Sierra Leone in their 2022 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying fixtures.<\/p>\n
They are the fourth best country in Africa with Senegal retaining the no. 1 spot, followed by Tunisia and Algeria in the second and third positions, respectively.<\/p>\n
A fortnight ago, Nigeria gave up a 4-0 lead against the Leone Stars on home ground to share the spoils with their West African neighbours.<\/p>\n
Four days later, the three-time African champions travelled to Freetown where they were held to a goalless draw by John Keister’s men.<\/p>\n
The results delayed Nigeria’s qualification for the 2022 continental showpiece in Cameroon but they remain at the summit of Group L with eight points after four matches.<\/p>\n
Sierra Leone, on the other hand, are among the biggest movers on the continent as they climbed four places to 116th in the world.<\/p>\n
The biggest movers in Africa are Equatorial Guinea and Burundi who climbed 10 spots after avoiding defeats in their Afcon qualifying games against Libya and Mauritania, respectively.<\/p>\n
The next Fifa ranking which will be the final release for 2020 will be announced on December 10.<\/p>\n
