Nigeria’s Super Eagles have been ranked the most expensive team in Africa according to Transfermarkt’s player valuation system.
Nigeria was ranked first in Africa and 13th in the world, and was one of only two African nations ranked in the top 20 most valuable teams in the world, alongside Morocco, which placed fourth at the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Nigeria’s star-studded squad, which includes several big players who play in major European leagues, aided in the ranking and the Super Eagles’ total valuation, which stands at €338.5 million according to valuation experts at Transfermarkt.
