The Super Falcons of Nigeria retain the top spot in Africa in the latest FIFA rankings
The Super Falcons of Nigeria moved up three places in the latest FIFA rankings of Women’s international teams.
Super Falcons ranked best in Africa
The Super Falcons have been in woeful form in recent months, and have won just once in their last eight matches, dating back to their 2022 Africa Women’s Cup of Nations quarterfinal against Cameroon.
Since then, they have only defeated Costa Rica in the 2023 Women’s Revelations Cup, losing six matches in a row including other Revelations Cup matches, international friendlies, and the semifinal and final of the 2022 AFWCON.

Despite the poor recent record, the Super Falcons have risen three places in the FIFA rankings released in March, moving from 45th to 42nd.
