After the last ranking, the Super Eagles played two friendly games against Cameroon- a 1-0 loss and goalless draw- but the games have little effect in this drop. 

In Africa, Nigeria also fell from third to fifth and are behind Senegal (21), Tunisia (28), Algeria(30) and Morocco (32). 

Belgium is still the number one football country in the World Ranking, followed by Brazil, France, England and European champions Italy.
