In Fame Football’s rankings, Nigeria’s men are 26th of 48 — two stars, in the middle of the list; their women are 18th of 48 — two and a half stars, in the middle of the list.
At home they play in all green; away, in all white — plain colours, as every kit in the game is.
Listed in both, they also field a mixed side of men and women, 20th of the 32 countries that can.
