Nigeria dropped one spot to 31 in April’s ranking of the world’s senior national football teams released by Fifa.

The Super Eagles were unable to consolidate on their 30th spot from March after emerging champions at the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.

Their 1-1 draw against the Harambee Stars of Kenya in a 2014 World Cup qualifying match in Calabar meant that they dropped 18 points and finished with 757 points from last month’s 775.

Still, Nigeria remain in fourth place among the African teams with Cote D’Ivoire retaining their top spot after they moved one step up to 12th position globally.
