Fifa ranking - Nigeria move up, Carpe Verde suffer big drop

Nigeria have moved up to become the third highest African team in Fifa's rankings for July.

The Super Eagles climbed three places in the Confederation of African Football region and 10 spots on the global list - up to 34th in the world.

Algeria matched Nigeria's performance in Brazil and remain the top-ranked side in Africa.

Suffering a drop of 273 points - the biggest by any team in the world - Cape Verde fell from fifth in the African list to 15th, and 75th place in the world.
