Morocco Match Nigeria’s Record as Africa’s Highest-Ranked Team

Morocco have temporarily climbed to fifth in the FIFA world rankings, moving above Brazil after the South American side drew 1-1 with Australia in a friendly. The Atlas Lions have 1,803.99 points, narrowly ahead of Brazil’s 1,802.90. A win over Gabon would strengthen Morocco’s hold on the position. The achievement matches Nigeria’s historic record as Africa’s highest-ranked team. The Super Eagles reached fifth place in 1994 after winning the Africa Cup of Nations and reaching the 1994 World Cup round of 16.
