Nigeria was absent from the World Cup in the middle east as Ghana defeated them by an away goal to qualify for the FIFA tournament.
According to the last ranking, Nigeria sat at 32nd but possibly due to the World Cup miss, they have dropped 3 places to 35th.
They also dropped from 4th to 5th on the CAF ranking of African countries.
Qatar wonders, Atlas Lions of Morocco, Terangha Lions of Senegal, Carthage Eagles of Tunisia and Indomitable Lions of Cameroon have ranked ahead of the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
On the global stage, Brazil remains the top-ranked country while newly crowned World Champions Argentina rose to second while former top rank Belgium dropped to 4th.
Former Champions and Qatar 2022 runner-up France drops to third.
