The Black Stars has experienced a notable decline in the latest FIFA World Rankings due to their disappointing performances during the recent September international break.
In their first two matches of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, Ghana faced Angola and Niger.
The team suffered a 1-0 loss to Angola at Baba Yara Stadium and was held to a 1-1 draw against Niger in Berkane. As a result, Ghana currently sits in third place in Group F.
Following the release of the rankings, Ghana has fallen from 64th to 70th globally. Several countries, including Georgia, the United Arab Emirates, Albania, Cape Verde, and Burkina Faso, have surpassed Ghana in the standings.
The Black Stars have also slipped two positions in the continental rankings, now ranked 14th, with Burkina Faso and Cape Verde moving ahead of them.
In the Confederation of African Football (CAF) rankings, Morocco has taken the top spot, followed by Senegal in second place, while Egypt, Côte d’Ivoire, and Tunisia round out the top five.
Looking ahead, the Black Stars will regroup in October for their third and fourth matches against Sudan in the qualifiers.
