The Super Falcons got three points to climb up to 40th place from 42nd in the globe according to the rating that was announced in March.
The team of Randy Waldrum remained in top place in Africa.
The Falcons’ outstanding performance at the exhibition in Turkey played a significant role in their improvement in the standings.
