Ghana's national football team, the Black Stars, experienced a dip in the FIFA rankings for November, sliding from the 60th to the 61st position.

This decline follows a challenging performance in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, where the team faced difficulties in maintaining momentum.

Despite the setback, the Black Stars continue to hold the 11th spot in Africa, with the top ten teams on the continent remaining unchanged.

The team commenced their World Cup campaign with a narrow victory over Madagascar at the Baba Yara Stadium but faced a setback with a close defeat against Comoros in Moroni, contributing to their descent in the rankings.

Looking ahead, the focus shifts to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), scheduled to take place in Ivory Coast from January 13 to February 11, 2024.

Ghana aims to regroup and showcase a strong performance in the tournament, where they will face formidable competition from the likes of Morocco, Senegal, Tunisia, Algeria, Egypt, Nigeria, Cameroon, Mali, Ivory Coast, and Burkina Faso—all of whom are ranked in the top 10 for Africa.

As Ghana prepares for the AFCON group stage against Egypt, Mozambique, and Cape Verde, fans are eager for the team to rediscover their winning ways and reclaim their status as one of the top teams on the continent.

With the tournament approaching, the pressure is on for the Black Stars to deliver a compelling performance.
