FIFA released new rankings yesterday and that brings good
news to Nigerians. For August 2011 Nigeria
is ranked number 38 in the men’s division, bringing them up 5 points. That puts them at number 4 among other
African counties, below Ghana and above Burkina Faso.
Nigeria has made 4 FIFA World Cup™ appearances, 1994, 1998,
2002, and 2010. They are hoping to make
this their first consecutive appearance this year.
The Nigerian woman’s division is currently number 1 in their
country and ranked number 27 in the world.
They are also fighting to make this year their first consecutive
appearance at the FIFA world cup.
Nigeria only houses 52 official clubs, but has over 6
million players. That puts Nigeria among
the top countries in the world for football players.
Congratulations to both teams! StanaCard would love to help
