Black Stars up by four spots in FIFA ranking following recent Mali, C.A.R. win

Ghana has climbed four spots in the latest FIFA rankings following the Black Stars’ consecutive victories in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

This advancement has boosted Ghana to 64th place globally and 12th in Africa, surpassing Cape Verde and Burkina Faso, who had previously ranked higher after Ghana’s 2023 AFCON performance.

Prior to the AFCON, Ghana was positioned 61st in the world and 11th in Africa, according to the September 2023 rankings.

However, the Black Stars’ failure to advance beyond the group stage at the AFCON, with two draws and one loss, impacted their standing.

The recent wins against Mali and the Central African Republic in June have helped the four-time African champions improve their position.

Meanwhile, Nigeria has slipped to fifth place in the African rankings after not securing any wins in their two matches in June.

Morocco continues to lead the African rankings, followed by Senegal, Egypt, and Ivory Coast.
