The Coach Gernot Rohr Super Eagles team are yet to play any international match this year 2020, since its 2021 African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Squirrels of Benin Republic and the Crocodiles of Lesotho last year November.
With the Super Eagles continuing its qualification series for AFCON 2021 by March 2020, the possibility of the Super Eagles moving ahead in the ranking is in the offing depending on its performance in competitive matches and international friendlies during the FIFA breaks.
