The Super
Eagles of Nigeria have progressed to number 28 in the current May world ranking
of male national football teams released by FIFA on Thursday.
The current African
champions leapfrogged four steps - from 31st position in the April ranking to
28th in the latest classification.
Stephen
Keshi's team, by implication of their current world standing, has retained
their fourth best team status in Africa this month.
The top five
African teams classification remains unchanged as Cote d' Ivoire, Ghana, Mali,
Nigeria and Algeria retained their April status yet again in May.
Remarkably,
the top ten teams in the world remain unchanged from the previous April
ranking: Spain, Germany, Croatia, Portugal, Colombia, England, Italy, Holland
and Ecuador, in that order.
