Ghana Falls in FIFA Rankings After AFCON Miss.

Ghana has dropped four places in the latest FIFA rankings, now standing at 77th globally, after a disappointing end to their AFCON 2025 qualification campaign.

Their 1-1 draw against Angola and 2-1 loss to Niger sealed their fate. Despite the setback, Ghana maintains its 14th place in Africa, ahead of teams like Zambia and Gabon, but behind others such as Cape Verde. They will focus on rebuilding ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
