Super Falcons Rise to 36th in Latest FIFA Rankings, Maintain Africa’s No. 1 Position
Nigeria’s Senior Women’s National Team, the Super Falcons, have climbed to 36th place in the latest Global rankings released by FIFA, reinforcing their dominance as Africa’s top-ranked women’s side.
The updated rankings reflect a steady improvement in performance by the Nigerian team, which continues to lead the continent ahead of close rivals such as South Africa women’s national football team and Morocco women’s national football team.
According to data monitored by Global Mirror News, the Falcons’ upward movement comes on the back of recent International outings and consistent showings in competitive fixtures, signaling renewed momentum under the current technical setup.
Despite fierce competition across Africa, Nigeria has retained its long-standing reputation as a powerhouse in women’s football, maintaining its number one spot on the continent. The team’s pedigree includes multiple continental titles and strong appearances on the global stage.
Globally, the rankings continue to be dominated by established women’s football giants, with Countries like the United States women’s National soccer team, Spain women’s National football team, and England women’s National football team occupying top positions.
Analysts note that while Nigeria’s rise is encouraging, sustained progress will depend on improved investment in grassroots development, better preparation for international tournaments, and increased exposure to high-level competition.
As preparations intensify for upcoming qualifiers and major tournaments, the Super Falcons will be aiming to build on this progress and further improve their standing on the global stage.
