Nigeria’s Super Eagles dropped one spot in the latest FIFA World ranking released on Thursday.
In the last edition before the World Cup, the three-time African champions slipped from 47th position to 48th in the world.
As a result, Gernot Rohr’s team dropped from sixth place to seventh on the continent.
Nigeria failed to win a single game in the month under review.
They were held at home by DR Congo, lost to England and then surprisingly crashed to the Czech Republic.
Those three contributed to the Eagles losing 17 points.
Incidentally, none of Nigeria’s group opponents at the Russia 2018 World Cup rose in the ranking.
Argentina remain fifth in the world, while Croatia who the Super Eagles will face in their opening 2018 FIFA World Cup game dropped two places from 18th to 20th.
World Cup debutants Iceland remained 22nd.
Germany remain in first position, Brazil in second, Belgium in third, Portugal fourth and Argentina fifth.
