Ghana have climbed one spot in the latest FIFA world rankings, moving from 76th to 75th after their recent outings in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.
The Black Stars were held to a 1-1 draw away in Chad before securing a 1-0 victory over Mali at the Accra Sports Stadium. These results that helped lift their global standing.
However, their position in Africa remains unchanged, with Ghana still ranked 14th on the continent.
Head coach Otto Addo will be aiming to continue that progress when his side return to action later this year, as the Black Stars prepare to conclude their 2025 fixtures with crucial World Cup qualifying games against the Central African Republic and Comoros in October.
