Ghana Ranked 53rd In The World, SEVENTH In Africa In Latest FIFA World Ranking

The senior men’s national team, Black Stars, are currently ranked 53rd in the world and seventh on the continent in the latest FIFA Coca Cola World ranking.

The FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking adopted a new model in August 2018 after approval by the FIFA Council.

This new version developed by FIFA was named “SUM” as it relies on adding/subtracting points won or lost for a game to/from the previous point totals rather than averaging game points over a given time period as in the previous version of the World Ranking.

The points which are added or subtracted are partially determined by the relative strength of the two opponents, including the logical expectation that teams higher in the ranking should fare better against teams lower in the ranking.

With Ghana presently in the market hunting for a new coach, the three-time World Cup participants would hope CK Akonnor’s successor hits the ground running with the double header against Zimbabwe fast approaching.
