Ghana have moved up three places again in the latest FIFA World Ranking for the month of May.
The new table sees the Black Stars on the 47th position. Nonetheless, with an accompanying increase in total accumulated points from 603 to 624.
Placed 49th in June last year, Ghana now find themselves between the Czech Republic (46) and continental rivals Nigeria (48) on the ladder.
The latest rise is largely premised on James Kwesi Appiah’s outfit’s 2-0 victory over World Cup-bound Japan in an international friendly last week.
On continental level, Ghana have moved up by two places from eight to sixth, ahead of Nigeria, Cameroon (49), Burkina Faso (52) and Mali (64) in the top 10.
Tunisia (21) still hold the first position, despite falling by seven places on the world ladder. Senegal (27), Congo DR (38), Morocco (41), Egypt (45) make up the top five in Africa.
Back on the world table, there was no change among the top seven, with Germany, Brazil, Belgium, Portugal, Argentina, Switzerland and France ranking from first in that order.
Ghana will play another World Cup-bound side, Iceland, on Thursday.
