Nigeria’s position remains unchanged in the latest monthly FIFA rankings released for the month of July.
Nigeria maintained it’s position last month,and are still ranked 35th in the world and fifth in Africa,after pooling together 700 points.

There was relatively slight movements in the overall rankings,as even the top ten in the world remained unchanged.
