Ghana’s Black Stars have been ranked 76th in the latest FIFA World Rankings published on Thursday, July 10, 2025, leaving them outside Africa’s top ten national teams as they continue the push to rejoin the continent’s elite.
At the global level, Argentina firmly holds the number one spot, ahead of Spain (2nd), France (3rd), England (4th), and Brazil (5th).
Morocco remain Africa’s highest-ranked side, holding steady at 12th in the world with 1,698.72 points.
Senegal have climbed to 18th globally, making them Africa’s new number two, while Egypt are 34th (3rd in Africa).
Algeria (36th), Nigeria (44th) and Ivory Coast (45th) follow closely, despite the latter’s recent AFCON success.
Tunisia (49th), Cameroon (51st), Mali (54th) and South Africa (57th) round out the African top ten, with Ghana sitting just outside the group.
The Black Stars’ most recent matches came in May at the Unity Cup in London, where they faced Nigeria in the semi-final before ending the tournament with a convincing 4–0 win over Trinidad and Tobago in the third-place play-off.
Led by Jordan Ayew and overseen by coach Otto Addo, the team now shifts focus to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers as they look to book their place in the tournament in 2026.
