and Nigeria's Super Eagles have neither risen nor moved down the
ranking, but remain number 42, which they were last month.
In the month under review, the Eagles failed to make it to the 2015
Africa Cup of Nations taking place in Equatorial Guinea in January
after Stephen Keshi's led Eagles went to Congo to beat the Red Devils
2-0 and drew 2-2against South Africa in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
Bafana Bafana of South Africa and Congo, however, moved up six and
three positions as they are now on 51 and 59 in the world
respectively. Algeria retain their number one position in Africa, but
went down three places to 18 in the world. Tunisia second (22), Ivory
Coast third (24), Senegal fourth (35), Ghana fifth (38),Guinea sixth
(38), Cape Verde Islands seventh (39) and Cameroon eighth (41) behind
Nigeria ninth in Africa.
The November edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking reveals very
little change in the top ten, with the top seven positions unaltered
from last month and world champions Germany still out in front ahead
of Argentina and Colombia. France, however, are now in joint seventh
place together with Portugal (7th, up 2). In the top 20, England
(13th, up 7), Romania (15th, up 6) and Czech Republic (17th, up 5)
have all made good progress.
