Super Eagles Retain 26th Position In Latest Men's FIFA Rankings Despite Mixed June Results

Posted : 12 June 2026

The Nigerian senior men's national team, the Super Eagles, held onto their 26th position in the global standings. The world football governing body, FIFA, published the latest rankings on Thursday just before the global tournament kickoff. Nigeria preserved its exact placement from the prior evaluation cycle.

Head coach Éric Chelle saw his side go through a packed four-match international schedule with varying outcomes. The Super Eagles successfully retained the Unity Cup in London by securing consecutive victories over Zimbabwe and Jamaica. They comfortably defeated the African side - before claiming a dominant win against the Reggae Boyz.

The West African giants subsequently moved their training camp to mainland Europe for two high-profile exhibitions. They began the European leg by playing out a hard-fought draw against Poland in Warsaw. However, their twelve-match unbeaten streak ended on Wednesday night with a close defeat to Portugal.

Despite failing to move up the global ladder, Nigeria preserved its high status within continental borders. The three-time African champions remain the third highest-ranked football nation in Africa. They stay closely behind regional heavyweights Morocco and Senegal, while traditional rivals like Algeria and Egypt round out the top five.

On the global stage, reigning world champions Argentina climbed back to the absolute summit of international football. They leapfrogged Spain and France to claim the first position after winning their final warm-up fixtures. FIFA announced that the next official ranking table will be published on July 20.
