Black Stars drop in Fifa rankings

Ghana drops three places on the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking, the second to be released this year.

The Black Stars who finished second at the just ended African Nations Cup in Angola are now positioned 31st.

According to FIFA, the majority of changes in this month’s ranking are due to the devaluation of results from last year with Spain still leading the way ahead of Brazil and the Netherlands in the overall world ranking.

On the African continent, Ghana are now placed sixth. African champions, Egypt still sit top followed by Nigeria, Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Algeria in that order.

The latest edition reflects the devaluation of the results of the many FIFA World Cup qualification games played a year ago.
