Nigeria’s Super Falcons keep their position as Africa’s highest-ranked women’s team in the latest FIFA women’s world rankings. Multiple outlets report that the Falcons hold 36th place globally, while staying number one in Africa. The ranking is presented as the most recent FIFA update ahead of WAFCON 2026. Nigeria’s team also continues to benefit from its recent international activity: the Falcons play matches against Senegal earlier in the month, as mentioned by one source, with the team featuring in two friendlies. Other reporting reiterates that there is no change in Africa’s top spot or the Falcons’ overall global ranking, emphasizing continuity rather than movement up or down in the table. Across the accounts, both the global placement (36th) and the continental ranking (top in Africa) remain the same, with the friendlies against Senegal serving as the most recently cited match context tied to their form leading into upcoming tournament schedules.
