The Super Eagles of Nigeria are the twentieth most expensive team that will participate in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, according to transfer market experts transfermarkt.co.uk.

Nigeria, who have a squad size of 23, are valued at £80.78 million while Brazil currently have the most expensive squad £606.15m, followed by Germany £572.85m, France £572.85m, Spain £543.15m and Argentina £475.65m.

Senegal, who have in their ranks Liverpool’s Sadio Mané and Monaco winger Keita Baldé lead the way in Africa with a market value of £195.89m, ahead of Morocco £88.56m, Nigeria, Egypt £76.05m and Tunisia £28.04m.

Our other rivals at the World Cup Croatia and Iceland occupy the eighth (£265.28m) and twenty-second (£56.12m) positions respectively.

It should be noted that the Super Eagles would have ranked higher than 20th but Nigeria’s most valuable player, Chelsea’s Victor Moses who is valued at £16.20m, was omitted from the players rated because he missed the games against Argentina and Algeria.
