Ghana finds itself in the 67th position in the world, with the Black Stars also now ranked 14th on the continent, behind the likes of South Africa and Mali.
The drop stems from the team’s poor showing at the AFCON, where they failed to progress from a group that contained Egypt, Cape Verde and Mozambique.

The Black Stars didn’t win any of their group matches, losing to Cape Verde before drawing against both Egypt and Mozambique, which led to the sacking of head coach Chris Hughton.
Meanwhile, Morocco continue to top the African rankings despite exiting the AFACON at the round of 16 stage.
Senegal are second, with Nigeria, Egypt and newly crowned AFCON champions Ivory Coast making the top five in that order.
