Eric Chelle’s side, who were ranked 26th before the latest update, fell to 30th with 1,567.97 points following a difficult international window.
Nigeria also dropped from fourth to sixth in Africa, with Morocco, Senegal, Egypt, Algeria and Côte d’Ivoire now ranked ahead of the Super Eagles.
The three-time African champions began the period with a 2-1 comeback win over Madagascar at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo on September 25. However, they suffered a heavy 3-0 defeat to Guinea-Bissau in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying campaign.
