Nigeria's senior women’s football team, the Super Falcons, have maintained their 36th position in the latest global FIFA rankings.
They also continue to hold the top spot as Africa’s leading women’s football team, as per the rankings released on Friday, August 16, 2024.
This comes despite their underwhelming performance at the recent Women’s Summer Olympics in Paris, where they failed to advance past the group stage.
The Falcons were defeated in all three of their matches—losing 1-0 to Brazil and Spain, and suffering a 3-1 loss to Japan, which left them at the bottom of Group C.
In the African rankings, Nigeria is followed by South Africa (50th), Morocco (59th), Zambia (62nd), and Ghana (66th).
