African champions Nigeria have dropped out of the top 40 in the latest edition of the FIFA World rankings released on Thursday.
The Super Eagles went down four more places to 41st this month, after moving down a spot in the December standings.
They kept their spot in the top 10 in Africa however, despite dropping from fourth to seventh place in the CAF table.
The Eagles are currently campaigning in the African Nations Championship (CHAN), which was recently upgraded to a level-A competition by FIFA.
A good showing at the CHAN could influence the reigning AFCON champions' position in the February rankings, as all results at the tournament count.
Meanwhile, there were no changes in the world's top 25, with Spain still comfortable at number one and Ivory Coast topping the African table.
