Black Stars keep falling,sits 76th place latest FIFA rankings

Ghana’s Black Stars has once again fallen about six places in latest FIFA rankings.

The team last year fell six places following their loss to Angola and a 1-1 draw with Niger during the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers in September during the international break.

In the recent ranking, Ghana sits 76th in the FIFA World Rankings released on Thursday, July 10.

This leaves the former Africa giant out of the top 10 national teams as they continue the push to rejoin the continent’s elite.

According to the latest ranmking, Argentina still holds its spot as number one followed by Spain, France and then England with Brazil taking the fifth spot.

In Africa, Morocco sits on top with it's 12th position on the global level with 1,698.72 points.

Senegal have also moved a spot up from its 19th position last year. Egypt dropped to 34 on the global scale but still remains 3rd in Africa despite their slight dip from the 32nd position, which was caused by a quiet international window with no matches played since March.

Meanwhile, other teams gained points through qualifiers and friendlies, allowing them to climb higher in the rankings.

Algeria (36th), Nigeria (44th) and Ivory Coast (45th) follow closely, despite the latter’s recent AFCON success.

Tunisia (49th), Cameroon (51st), Mali (54th) and South Africa (57th) round out the African top ten, with Ghana sitting just outside the group.

Ghana's recent matches were in May when they played in the Unity Cup in London facing their long-standing rivals, Nigeria.

They lost 1–2 to the |Super Eagles but ended with a resounding 4–0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place play-off.

Coach Otto Addo of Ghana blamed their defeat to Nigeria to lack of chemistry among players who he claims hadn't played together often.

Some fans also blamed our under performance in the cup on the absence of key players like Kudus, Semenyo and Partey due to club commitments and minor injuries.

The team now shifts focus to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers as they look to book their place in the tournament in 2026.
