Ghana Climbs FIFA Rankings, Nigeria Slips

In the latest FIFA World Rankings released on June 20, 2024, Ghana’s national football team, the Black Stars, has moved up four places to 64th in the world and 12th in Africa. This improvement comes after a series of wins in international games.

On the other hand, Nigeria’s Super Eagles have experienced a significant decline, dropping eight places to 38th in the world rankings. This fall is linked to their recent performance in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers.

Ghana’s rise in the rankings is a positive sign for the team, which has struggled in recent years. The Black Stars have been working hard to improve their performance and their efforts seem to be paying off.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s decline is a cause for concern for the Super Eagles, who have been one of Africa’s top teams in recent years. The team will need to regroup and work hard to improve their performance and climb back up the rankings.

The top five teams in Africa remain the same, with Morocco at the top, followed by Senegal, Egypt, Ivory Coast, and Nigeria. Ghana’s rise to 12th place is a significant achievement for the team, which has not been ranked this high in several years.

The next FIFA World Rankings will be released in August 2024, and it will be interesting to see how the teams perform and how the rankings change.
