The Black Stars of Ghana have dropped three places in the latest FIFA rankings released for the month of March 2024, although Ghana maintained its 14th place on the African continent.

Ghana has struggled in recent times after they were dumped out of the African Cup of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast at the group stage.

As if that was not enough, Ghana also failed to perform during March's FIFA International friendly dates as they were held 2-2 by Uganda and also beaten by fierce rivals Nigeria.

Ghana has been surpassed by the likes of Cape Verde, UAE, Albania and several others.

Finalists at the recent CAF Africa Cup of Nations, Nigeria moved to 30 in the world while also making it into the top three in Africa just behind Senegal and Morocco.

The Atlas Lions occupy 13th spot in the world but retain pole position on the continent, followed by Senegal who are 17th in the world and second in Africa.

African champions, Cote d’Ivoire move up to 38th in the world and take up the fifth spot on the continent, just behind fourth placed Egypt who are 38th in the world.

North African powerhouses, Tunisia and Algeria remain 41st and 43rd respectively on the global rankings and are followed by Mali who moved three places up to 44.

The top three nations in the world are world champions, Argentina followed by France and Belgium in third.
