Ghana ascends one spot in latest FIFA rankings

Ghana has climbed up in the most recent FIFA rankings, securing the 59th position among the world’s best-performing countries.

However, their placement within the CAF category remains unchanged, as they continue to occupy the 11th position.

During the recent international break in June, the Black Stars faced a draw against Madagascar, adding to their 2023 record of one win and two draws in three matches.

Ghana have now gone over a year without entering the top 10 in Africa. Their last feature dates back to October 2021, when they were ranked 7th.

Morocco retained first place despite a draw and a defeat to Cape Verde and South Africa in the international break, which included a victory over Brazil.

Senegal, who beat Brazil and drew with Benin sits second followed by Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso on the top 10 list.

The world’s top ten list of countries also stays constant. However, England and Croatia have each risen one spot.

England, who were ranked fifth in the previous ranking, is now fourth, while Croatia has surpassed the Netherlands to reach seventh place.
