FIFA published its updated ranking of national teams on Thursday, with several changes in the African top 10.
Algeria made a significant leap, passing Ivory Coast and Tunisia to now rise to 5th place in the African ranking after a flawless performance in the AFCON 2025 qualifiers and especially its two victories in the double confrontation against Togo. On the global level, the country gained 4 places.
6th in the previous ranking, Nigeria is now 4th in Africa. A good progression in this ranking for this country which gained three places on the global level.
After having made progress in the previous ranking, Tunisia falls. The result of the previous missed international window for the Cartages Eagles. The country loses 11 places at the global level. And at the African level, it leaves 5th place for 7th.
