The super Falcons of Nigeria have been ranked 10th best team at the just concluded 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand.
The nine-time African champions scaled through the group stage unbeaten with one win and two draws to finish second behind Australia.
However, they eventually exited the competition after losing 4-2 on penalties to the Three Lionesses of England in the round of 16.
As released by FIFA, the Super Falcons are ranked ahead of big guns Germany and Brazil.
Randy Waldrum’s side is the best ranked African team in the competition.
It would be recalled that Spain defeated England 1-0 in the final to win the Women’s World Cup for the first time.
Spain, England, Sweden, Australia, Japan, France, Netherlands, Colombia, USA, and Nigeria have been ranked the 10 best teams in the world.
