The Black Stars of Ghana have suffered a drop in the latest FIFA Coca-Cola rankings, sliding three spots from 70th to 73rd globally and ranking 14th in Africa.

This decline follows a disappointing October international window, where Ghana failed to secure a win.

The team’s struggles in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers have contributed significantly to this drop.

Recently, Ghana drew and lost to Sudan, mirroring their September performance against Angola and Niger.

Ghana’s winless run in Group F of the qualifiers puts them at risk of missing the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.

The four-time African champions face an uphill battle to turn their campaign around.

In contrast, Comoros, Ghana’s World Cup qualifier group opponents, made notable strides, jumping ten places in the global rankings.

Top Ranked Teams

  • Globally: Argentina leads, followed by France, Spain, England and Brazil.
  • Africa: Morocco tops the rankings, with Senegal, Egypt, Nigeria and Algeria completing the top five.

To salvage their AFCON hopes, Ghana must regroup for upcoming matches against Angola and Niger.
