Ghana Drop In FIFA Ranking

Ghana have dropped three places in the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking released on Thursday. The Black Stars are ranked 38th globally after accumulating 719 points in the April edition according to FIFA. Cote d�Ivoire continue to be the top ranked African side with Egypt and Algeria in that order. Europe occupies the top three places on the ranking after Portugal climbed third behind leaders Spain and Germany. Only six matches were played over the past month. The majority of changes to the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking can be attributed to the devaluation of matches from previous years, most of which were World Cup qualifiers and now have a greatly reduced weighting.
