Ghana's defeat to Egypt in the 2018 World Cup qualifiers cost the Black Stars a heavy fall in the FIFA ranking for the month of November.
The Black Stars are down eight places in the world ranking to 53rd position and went down four places to ninth in the Africa.
Ghana lost 2-0 to the Pharaohs at the Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria to lose grounds in Group E.
Egypt leapfroged ten places to the 36th position and Number 4 in Africa.
Senegal, despite losing 2-1 at South Africa, remain the continent's highest ranked nation and 33rd in the world.
They are followed by Cote d'Ivoire and Tunisa, who are tied in the 34th position.
Argentina remain top for November, but have seen their command on the summit weakened by close rivals Brazil (2, up 1).
After a good run of form in FIFA World Cup qualifying, A Seleção have surpassed Germany (3, down 1) and closed the distance to their South American neighbours, as the year-end approaches.
Chile, meanwhile, climbed into fourth place.

Corrupt government has destroyed everything...
Stephen, I DON'T THINK YOU ARE OKAY, HOW DOES POLITICS AFFECT THERE LEGS TO SCORE GOALS, I BEG GO AND SLEEP AND KEEP QUIET.
Stephen, you're simply mixing your political blindness to the game of football. You are least objective in your coment.
Fellow Ghanaians, you know what? many of you especially in the football arena tend to blame the Black Stars on one side and the national coach on the other for the poor performance in football now in Ghana. I see it differently. The blame should be put squarely at the doorstep of the Government of Ghana. The Brazil 2014 World Cup was where government officials including even the President messed things up, demotivated the stars and scattered them to our own detriment. If you have an economy which is handled by people who are more interested i milking it at the expense of the masses, this is the situation ought to find ourselves in. Since 2014 world cup event, have the Black Stars performed impressively; to the extent that Ghanaian spectatoring for them has even died down. Can't you see? So, stop the blame game on Avram Grant and the players. Let us be objective.
