Ghana Drops Two Places In Latest FIFA Rankings

Ghana have fallen by two places on the latest FIFA Coca Cola world rankings released on Thursday, for the month of October.

This is on the back of the Black Stars' recent 3-0 loss to Mali and a 5-1 thrashing of Asian champions Qatar in friendly matches earlier this month.

The two games were part of 120 international games played by nations across the globe over the last month. Ghana moved down to 48th position, a place below Hungary and a spot above Jamaica. There was also a drop in the Black Stars' total accumulated points by one from 1439 to 1438.

On the continental table, Ghana, now lies in sixth place, above Egypt (52 in the world), Cameroon (53), Mali (56) and Burkina Faso (58) in Africa's top 10.

Senegal (21st in the world) still lead the African table despite dropping down by one place on the world order.

Tunisia (26), African Champions Algeria, (who have moved up by five places to 30th in the world), Nigeria (fallen by three places to 32nd spot) and Morocco (up by four places to 39th) are Africa's top five teams.
