It was released after the last International break in September where Ghana played two friendly matches which they lost 3-0 to Brazil before beating Nicaragua 1-0.

According to FIFA, Ghana played the most matches in the month under review playing five matches but winning just one of them.

Ghana ended the year 2021 in the 52nd position on the world stage but it is currently down ten places.

The Black Stars have now moved out of the top ten rated countries on the African continent as they are 11th with the latest release with Senegal as number 1 in Africa and 18th in the World, Morocco, Tunisia, Nigeria, Algeria, Egypt, Cameroon, Mali, Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso completing the top ten in Africa.
