As per the latest FIFA men’s world rankings released on Thursday, July 20, Ghana’s Black Stars have held on to their 59th position. The lack of movement can be attributed to their single match in June, which ended in a 0-0 draw against Madagascar.

Under the leadership of head coach Chris Hughton, the Black Stars have shown great promise, remaining unbeaten with a victory against Angola in Kumasi and two draws.

These results have positioned Ghana well in their quest to qualify for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
