Published

AFCON 2019



Nigeria remain in the 44th position in the world but moved up to the fourth spot in Africa on the November FIFA ranking.

Back-to-back stalemates in the month under review ensured that the three-time African champions remain stagnant on the spot they attained last month.

Gernot Rohr’s men got 1427 points after a 1-1 stalemate against South Africa in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers – although the result was enough to help them seal their place in the tournament in Cameroon – and a goalless draw with Uganda in a friendly game.
