Nigeria rise to 60th on FIFA ranking

The Super Eagles on Thursday rose four
places to berth at the 60th position on
the latest FIFA ranking.
The move took Nigeria to 11th position
in Africa, tied with Morocco who
slumped two places.
Germany have moved up to second
behind Argentina as Belgium dropped
out of the top three in the latest FIFA
world rankings.
A pair of 2018 World Cup qualifier wins
against Czech Republic and Northern
Ireland lifted world champions Germany
up one spot, with Brazil also up one to
third.
Former world number one side Belgium
are on the drift, down two to fourth and
out of the first three for the first time
since March 2015.
Spain, who beat Belgium in a friendly
last month, are back in the top 10 while
Euro 2016 sensations Wales slid one
place to 11th.
