From 61 to 67: Ghana slip on latest FIFA ranking after poor showing at 2023 AFCON

Ghana has dropped to 67th on the latest FIFA ranking following the Black Stars’ group-stage exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ghana’s abysmal performance at the AFCON has played a key factor in the team’s slip in the ranking after failing to win a game at the tournament.

Ghana have now dropped six places down to 67th in the World and 14th in Africa as Cape Verde, South Africa and DR Congo overtake the four-time African Champions.

Cape Verde topped their group and reached the quarter-finals while South Africa and DR Congo both got to the semi-final.

Ivory Coast, who emerged as winners, has claimed 10 places on the World list and also climbed to 5th in Africa.

Morocco lead the CAF list followed by Senegal, Nigeria, Egypt and Ivory Coast who complete the top 5. 

Meanwhile, Argentina lead the World followed by France, England, Belgium, Brazil, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Croatia to complete the top 10.
