The Black Stars have once again fallen down the pecking order as the latest Fifa World Rankings for August have been released.

The Ghana national team’s woes continued on Thursday as they dropped even further down the Fifa World Cup rankings.

Coach Kwesi Appiah’s men recently suffered defeat to Kenya in the 2019 African Cup of Nations qualifier.

The shock defeat has seen the four-time African champions fall a further six places from 45th position on the global rankings to 51st.

Africa’s Top 10 on August’s FIFA rankings:

Tunisia (23)
Senegal (25)
DR Congo (40)
Morocco (45)
Nigeria (48)
Cameroon (50)
Ghana (51)
Burkina Faso (56)
Mali (63)
Egypt (64)

Ghana’s highest ever performance since the ranking’s introduction in August 1993 remains a 14 place in February 2008, while their worst placement was an 89 position reached in June 2004.
