Nigeria’s Super Falcons have retained their 36th position in the most recent FIFA women’s world rankings, as announced on August 7, 2025.
Their standing follows a stellar performance at the 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (WAFCON) held in Morocco, where they secured their 10th continental title, extending their record as Africa’s leading women’s football team.

South Africa’s Banyana Banyana, former WAFCON champions, hold the 54th spot worldwide and maintain second place within Africa. Ghana’s Black Queens, who finished third in the tournament, have dropped to 67th in the global rankings.
This ranking outcome highlights the Super Falcons’ continued dominance in African women’s football and their strong presence on the world stage.
