The Super Eagles of Nigeria moved up 14 places in the latest FIFA men’s ranking on Thursday.
The team moved from the 42nd position to the 28th position in the world.
This is the national team’s highest since May 2013.
The Super Eagles also moved from sixth position to third in Africa according to the new ranking by the World Football governing body.
The new position is attributed to the Eagles’ showing during the just concluded African Cup of Nations in Cote d’Ivoire where they came second and clinched the silver medal.
Cote d’Ivoire who won the AFCON, moved from 49th in the world to 39th, while Morocco and Senegal maintained their lead as the best African teams.
Argentina remained number one in the world in the latest ranking while France and Brazil maintained second and third positions.
