The Super Eagles gathered a total of 541 points to fall to no. 14 in
Africa behind Cote d’Ivoire, Algeria, Ghana, Cape Verde, Tunisia,

Belgium claim the team of the year award for 2015. The Red Devils
jumped into first position (their first-ever) on the Fifa /Coca-Cola

time world champion Italy in Brussels on 13 November saw them hold
on to the coveted position for the final ranking of 2015.

Turkey receive the award for best mover of the year thanks to the 329
points they collected over the last 12 months of football. Having last
competed at a major tournament back in 2008, Turkey secured a place
at the Uefa Euro 2016 in a campaign that saw them defeat Netherlands
The highest climbers of 2013, thanks to nine wins, two draws and only
one defeat, are Ukraine, who have collected no fewer than 312 points
since December 2012, moving up 29 places to 18th and gaining the title
of Mover of the Year for the first time.

In contrast, Portugal dropped three places into 7th having lost 145 points
– the most points lost by a team.
Of the 137 matches taken into account for the latest ranking more than
two thirds (92 games) were World Cup qualifiers; eight of the 137
games were playoff matches to determine the final four teams to qualify
for EURO 2016, and the remaining 37 matches were international
friendlies.
The next Fifa World Ranking will be published on 7 January 2016.
