Falcons remain Africa’s best as Nigeria lasses rise to 36th in FIFA rankings

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have climbed to 36th place in the latest FIFA Women’s World Rankings, tightening their grip as Africa’s top ranked women’s national team. The Justine Madugu led side moved up one spot from 37th after a 3 1 victory over Cameroon in a friendly match last month. Despite limited fixtures, the result was enough to boost their global standing. The ten time African champions continue to lead the continent comfortably. South Africa’s Banyana Banyana are second in Africa and 58th in the world, followed by Ghana’s Black Queens in 59th, Morocco’s Atlas Lionesses in 62nd and Zambia in 64th to complete Africa’s top five. Nigeria’s rise comes in spite of recent inactivity caused by the late cancellation of planned friendlies against Cape Verde. Before that setback, the Falcons had split results in a two match friendly series against […]

Ajibade blasts NFF over poor Falcons WAFCON plans

She condemned the lack of formal notice, saying players were still in the dark about camp logistics and preparatory games for the window running from April 7 to 18.

Super Falcons drop to 37th but stay top in Africa

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have slipped one place to 37th in the latest FIFA Women’s World Ranking but remain the highest ranked team in Africa. The ranking, released on Thursday, reflects movements on the global table after the last international window.​ The Super Falcons were previously 36th in the world before dropping to 37th, ending a run of several months in that position. Despite the slight fall, they still lead the African standings ahead of South Africa, Ghana, Zambia and Morocco, who complete the continent’s top five teams.​ Reports link the dip in ranking partly to the team’s inactivity during the most recent FIFA women’s international break. Nigeria had earlier secured qualification for the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations with a 3–1 aggregate win over Benin Republic in October, leaving them without competitive games in the last window.​ Nigeria’s strong […]
