The Black Stars of Ghana have ended the year 2021 as the 52nd best national football team in the world, according to the latest FIFA Rankings.
The December rankings released means the Black Stars are unmoved from last month's position.

At continental level, Ghana still hold eighth position, just above Mali (57) and Burkina Faso (58) in Africa's Top 10. Senegal (20) continue to lead the pack, followed by Tunisia (26), Algeria (31), Morocco (35), Nigeria (35), Egypt (49) and Cameroon (50).
