Ghana drops four places in latest FIFA ranking
By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
The Black Stars of Ghana have dropped four places in the latest FIFA rankings following a disastrous November run.
The Black Stars dropped significantly, moving from 73rd place in October to 77th in November, with 1320.2 points.
The fall, which began in September, saw Ghana drop six places following a home defeat to Angola and a draw with Niger in Morocco.
The West Africans dropped three more places in October after sharing a goalless draw with Sudan in Accra and losing 2-0 in the reverse fixture.
Things have now become extremely difficult for Ghana under Otto Addo. They find themselves in 77th place, compared to 61st position for the Black Stars exactly one year ago, in November 2023.
In Ghana’s football history, the Black Stars’ lowest-ever ranking was 89th, meaning they are only 12 points away from equaling that record.
Amid all these poor results and rankings, the Ghana FA is set to give beleaguered coach Otto Addo another opportunity to save his career as he prepares for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in March 2025.
