Despite this decline, the Super Eagles managed to retain their fifth position in Africa, behind Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, and Algeria. Earlier in the year, the team had shown promise by reaching the final of the delayed 2023 AFCON in Cote dāIvoire, which had briefly elevated their ranking to 28th globally.
The team's mixed year included qualifying for the 2025 AFCON in Morocco by winning their qualifying group, but their struggles in key fixtures, particularly against the Benin Republic and Rwanda, have been a major concern.
