THE Super Falcons of Nigeria have remained in the same spot they have been in for over a year in the FIFA women’s world ranking.
The latest ranking released by the world football governing body today shows the nine-time African champions in 36th, the same spot they have occupied since March 2024.
Since that March 2024 drop from 34th to 36th, the ranking has been done in June 2024, December 2024, March 2025 and now, making it five straight times in the same position for the Super Falcons.
The only movement for the Super Falcons has been in their points tallies, as they have steadily gained from 1616 in March 2024 to 1623 in June 2025.
The Super Falcons are still clearly the top team in Africa, with South Africa (54th) in second place on the continent.
Morocco (60th in the world), Cameroon (64th) and Zambia (65th) complete the African top five.
The Super Falcons’ group opponents at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco in July, Algeria, Tunisia and Botswana, are further down the ladder.
Algeria are 82nd in the world, Tunisia 89th and Botswana 153rd.
Globally, the United States of America are on top, followed by Spain, Germany, Brazil and England.
According to FIFA, no fewer than 168 women’s international fixtures have been contested globally since March 6 this year, when the previous edition of the world ranking was published.
