CEOAFRICA gathered from the release by FIFA on Thursday that Nigeria has moved up three places to 33 in the latest World rankings.

Meanwhile, Nigeria is still number four in Africa, behind Algeria (3rd) who dropped three places, Ghana (2nd), who moved up one place and Cote d’Ivoire (1st), who has moved to 17th in the world.

The October ranking indicates that the Eagles gained 724 points which is an improvement from the 707 points recorded in September.

However, Nigeria is expected to improve further in the rankings by next month after they host Ethiopia in the World Cup playoff return leg in Calabar.
