FIFA Ranking: Super Falcons remain 36th despite WAFCON win

Nigeria’s Super Falcons have remained at the 36th spot in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World Ranking, released on Thursday, 7 August.

The unchanged world table standing comes after the Nigerian women clinched a record-extending 10th Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) title in Morocco.

The Falcons’ 1630.83 points were not enough to push them into the top 30 spot. The highest-ever FIFA ranking of the Falcons remain the 25th, which was last achieved over two decades ago.

Some experts though are of the view that the Falcons achievements in July may have come after the table may have closed for the period and may reflect in the subsequent edition.

The Nigerian queens however maintain their position as Africa’s top-ranked women’s team, ahead of South Africa (54th), Morocco (64th), and Zambia (65th).

Across the globe, Spain reclaimed the number one spot from the USA after finishing as the runners-up of the UEFA Women’s EURO 2025.

Bangladesh was the highest climber across all continents soaring 24 places to 104th following the historic qualification run in the AFC Women’s World Cup qualifiers.
