Ghana have made an upward movement in the latest FIFA ranking, making it their first since July 2024 when they moved from 64th to 60th.
The Black Stars now occupy the 76th position in the global ranking, having been in the 77th position since November 2024.
The positive movement follows Ghana’s winning start to the 2025 calendar during the last international break.
Ghana defeated Chad and Madagascar in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, recording their first wins since the victory over the Central African Republic in June.
The wins see Ghana move above Israel, who have dropped two places in the ranking.
While the signs are positive for Ghana in the global ranking, they remain unchanged in the continental ranking.
Ghana sit 14th as far as the African continent is concerned.
Otto Addo will hope he can improve the team’s ranking further when they return to action later in the year.
WATCH: Otto Addo’s Comments On Andre Ayew Shocking & Disappointing’
A total of 245 international duels have been served up globally since the December 2024 edition of the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men’s World Ranking™. Teams from Africa, Asia, Oceania and South America all featured in FIFA World Cup 26™ qualifiers, while Concacaf and UEFA sides battled it out in their respective Nations League competitions and contested friendly encounters.
These contests have made for changes aplenty in the latest version of the standings, including some top-10 turbulence.
Argentina (1st) remain top thanks to impressive wins away to Uruguay (1-0) and at home to Brazil (4-1), but the Albiceleste have new company, as Spain (2nd, up 1) took full advantage of France’s (3rd, down 1) slip-up in Croatia to secure second spot. Les Bleus nevertheless remain on the podium, with England (4th) looking on and Brazil (5th) completing the top 5.
The Netherlands (6th, up 1) are in close pursuit of the leading pack, having overtaken Portugal (7th, down 1). Belgium (8th), Italy (9th) and Germany (10th) have all preserved their top-10 berths, while Croatia (11th, up 2) and Morocco (12th, up 2) are breathing down their necks. Mexico (17th, up 2) have boosted their rank by lifting the Concacaf Nations League title, while runners-up Panama (33rd, up 3) have been rewarded for their fine performance.
