The Super Eagles ended the year 2020 in 35th position in the latest FIFA ranking released on Thursday, Freelanews reports.
The Eagles remain unmoved from the last ranking released November 27, which saw them drop three places after a lacklustre display in November.
They also finished the year as the fifth-ranked team in Africa behind Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco.
Gernot Rohr’s men failed to win a single game in 2020, recording one defeat and three draws.
And while 2020 has certainly had major disruptions, Belgium still managed to claim the title of FIFA World Ranking Team of the Year for the third consecutive time after winning six of their eight matches in 2020.
The year 2020 had 352 international matches taking place due to COVID-19, the lowest since 1987 when 323 matches were played.
France are in second while Brazil, England and Portugal complete the top five.
The next World Ranking will be published on February 18, 2021.
