Nigeria’s qualification for next year’s World Cup has been rewarded, after moving up three places in the latest ranking released on Monday.

Nigeria dropped six places when the last ranking was released, last month, from 38th in the world to 44th, despite their incredible 4-0 defeat of rivals, Cameroon, in a decisive World Cup qualifier.

But they are now ranked 41st in the world, up from last month’s 44, after they defeated Zambia 1-0 early this month to book a place in Russia.

However, Nigeria retained her fifth position in Africa, behind the likes of Tunisia, Egypt, Senegal and Congo DR.
