FIFA Ranking: Ghana drops to 60th place despite Angola victory

The Black Stars of Ghana have fallen to 60th on the most recent FIFA Ranking despite defeating Angola 1-0 on March 23, 2023.

In the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, the team started the year off on a victorious note with a late 1-0 triumph over Angola.

The Black Stars pulled off a spirited 1-1 draw with Angola in Luanda four days after their dramatic victory at the Baba Yara Stadium.

The team moved backwards in the FIFA rankings, therefore the win and draw had minimal effect on their position.

The Black Stars used to lie 59th in the World but have now slumped to 60 in the global rankings.

In Africa, Ghana maintained its 11th position while Morocco continue as the number one footballing nation on the continent.

In the world, Morocco are 11th, with Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt and Nigeria placing 28th, 34th, 35th, and 40th respectively as the top five African countries.
