Nigeria's senior women national team climbed up a place to 37th in the latest Fifa world ranking. The reigning African champions earlier dropped nine places in September to 38th position due to their exit from the preliminary rounds of the 2015 Fifa Women's World Cup in Canada.
Falcons were unsuccessful in a second successive attempt to secure an Olympics ticket and to make matters worse failed to get a medal at the 2015 All African Games in Brazzaville, Congo.
The Super Flacons gathered a total of 1602 points to remain no. 1 in Africa ahead of Cameroon, Ghana, Equatorial Guinea, South Africa, Cote d’Ivoire, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and Senegal. For Africa's women football event representatives at next year's Rio 2016 Olympics, South Africa moved up five places to 56th, while Zimbabwe are the highest climbers of 2015 moving up 9 places to 98th.
In the World ranking, the top ten places remained unchanged with reigning world champions USA, Germany, France, Japan, England, Korea DPR, Brazil, Sweden, Australia and Norway from September edition.
