Super Falcons: FIFA ranks Nigeria 10th best team at 2023 Women's World Cup


According to FIFA, the Super Falcons of Nigeria finished 10th out of 32 teams at the 2023 Women's World Cup.
The 2023 Women's World Cup tournament came to an end on Sunday, August 20, 2023.

It was a history-making moment for Spain, as they became the second country to win the Men's and Women's World Cups.

FIFA ranks Super Falcons 10th at Women's World Cup
World Football governing body FIFA, after the conclusion of the tournament, has now ranked the teams.


The teams are ranked based on their performance at the tournament, but there is a twist.

Teams that were eliminated at the same stage are ranked based on the way they were knocked out.

The Super Falcons, according to the list provided by Fox Soccer, are ranked in 10th place.

)
It is a stunning accomplishment, as they are behind the United States of America (USA) and the highest among the African participants.

The Super Falcons played four games at the World Cup, starting off with a goalless draw against Olympic Champions Canada.

They then shocked tournament co-hosts Australia 3-2 in their second game before another goalless draw against the Republic of Ireland.

In the round of 16, the Super Falcons proved to be the toughest opponent for the Lionesses on their way to the final.

They stifled the reigning European champions to a goalless affair after 120 minutes of football, only to lose on penalties.

The Super Falcons and the USA both crashed out in the round of 16, but the former champions are ranked ahead of Nigeria based on their goal difference and missed just one of their spot kicks in the loss to Sweden.

10th is fair enough, considering all the 16 Countries that qualified for Round of 16.

This is the Best female team we've had in the history of the country.. they should be kept together.. the Coach should scout for dangerous forwards and see if they won't win the Olympics.. the team look very dangerous. The defence and midfield is very solid.. that Tony pyne lady,alozie ,plumptr,demehin , and the keeper are just too Good

Based on our goalless draw with England, Nigeria is ranked only behind USA among those who qualified for the round of 16. It will be odd to rate Nigeria higher than those who qualified for the quarter final.

Why? where would teams like Spain, England, Sweden, Australia, France and Japan b?

Why would Nigeria b rated higher than teams who qualified for the quarterfinals? That 10th position is very much ok.
