Friendly: Super Eagles to face Costa Rica in San Jose
On November 9th, the Super Eagles will play the Senior National Team of Costa Rica in a major international friendly in San Jose, the nation's capital.

The three-time African champions have been invited to the Central American country as part of key events to send the Los Ticos to the FIFA World Cup finals in Qatar, NFF's FIFA Match Agent Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport informed newsmen on Thursday.

It was discovered that the game, set to take place at the National Stadium in San Jose, will begin at 8 o'clock Costa Rican time (3am, 10th November in Nigeria).

Nigeria's Falconets advanced to the quarterfinals of the FIFA U20 Women's World Cup, defeating France, Korea Republic, and Canada in the group round. Costa Rica served as the tournament's host country.

On November 17, the Super Eagles will play Portugal in Lisbon in another high-profile friendly.

In the meantime, according to the most recent FIFA World rankings, the Super Eagles have lost two spots to 32nd in the world.

Nigeria lost to Algeria 2-1 at the previous international break in September. The Super Eagles are currently ranked 32nd in the world and 30th in Africa, which has had an impact on Nigeria's standing.

The three-time African champions received 1498.47 points in September as opposed to 1504.7 points in August, according to the ranking table revealed on Thursday.

They remain in fourth place on the continental scale, trailing Senegal (global ranking of 18), Morocco (world ranking of 23), and Tunisia (30th).

Scotland's performance in their final three games during the international break—two wins and one tie—was reflected in the rankings. The Tartan Terriers moved up to position 40 by moving up five spots.

Additionally, Azerbaijan jumped five spots to take the 123rd spot in the world after victories over Belarus, Slovakia, and Kazakhstan during the previous international break.

Norway performed poorly throughout the visible time, dropping two games against Serbia and Slovenia. They performed poorly, as evidenced by the fact that they slid six spots to 42nd in the standings.

The top 10 remain the same, with Brazil being in first place. The remaining 10 nations are Belgium, Argentina, France, England, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Denmark.
