Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Former Super Eagles winger, Tijani Babangida has expressed his disappointment following the team\u2019s drop in the latest FIFA ranking.<\/p>\n

The Super Eagles dropped from 35th to 40th position in the ranking released by FIFA on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Jose Peseiro\u2019s side also dropped to sixth position in Africa.<\/p>\n

The three-time African champions suffered a shocking 1-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau last month.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s really disappointing to see the Super Eagles go down in the ranking. It was as a result of the defeat to Guinea-Bissau and recent results,\u201d Babangida told DAILY POST.<\/p>\n

\u201cI strongly believe that the Super Eagles will bounce back from this setback. The team will fight back, I\u2019m sure of that.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to the next qualifiers and I\u2019m sure they will win the games against Sierra Leone and Sao Tome and Principe.\u201d<\/p>\n
