Reactions Trail Nigeria’s Latest FIFA Ranking
Nigeria has moved twelve spots up from 45th to 33rd in FIFA’s Latest Rankings after its exploits at the just concluded 2019 AFCON games.
Naija News understands that the ranking was released today (Thursday) by FIFA as Nigeria’s Super Eagles maintaining its 3rd position in the continent. The Super Eagles also moved from its June points of 1433 to 1481.
Meanwhile, the latest development has generated several reactions on twitter.
Here are the reactions as follows:
Algeria jumps 28 places up in the FIFA ranking for this month. It's also funny because Algeria is 4th place in Africa after Nigeria (we beat them) and Tunisia (Semi finalists) and CAF n°1 place Senegal (which we beat twice)
