The latest FIFA World Rankings released by the world governing body has seen a significant drop for the Black Stars, who fall from 25th to 30th in the world.

The team played only one friendly international in October, a 1-1 stalemate with Canada; and seem to have lost points due to the absence of competitive action.

Ghana maintains her position as third on the continent, behind Cote d’Ivoire and Algeria, who still maintain their top spots.

For the world rankings, Belgium takes the top spot from World Champions Germany, whilst Argentina comes in at third position. England climb back into the top ten, reclaiming their superior ranking to Wales.
