Nigeria soars in FIFA rankings, Below Cote d'Ivoire, Mali
New African Champions, the Super Eagles of Nigeria, moved up a massive 22 places from 52nd to 30th spot in the latest rankings released Thursday by the world football governing body, FIFA.
The February 2013 rankings is the best ever for Nigeria in over 30 months as the country has endured a tough curve in her football over the years.
The victory in South Africa, Nigeria's third Africa Nations Cup win was, however, not enough to shoot her straight to the summit of teams from Africa as the Coach Stephen Keshi side only moved from 10th place to fourth position in the ranking of Africa teams

Today: Mali vs Ghana
Ghana and Mali meet for the fourth time in the last two Africa Cup of Nations - having being drawn in the same group and ending up in the third place play-off at both tournaments.
The Black Stars won this year's Group B meeting, as they did in last year's finals, but Mali prevailed to finish third in Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. Both have a player suspended - Ghana's Mohamed Rabiu and Mali's Samba Sow. The two sides are also likely to give several of their fringe players a game.
