Black Queens of Ghana remained at the 60th position on the latest FIFA/Coca-Cola Women’s World ranking released on March 27, 2020.

Ghana are also fourth behind Nigeria, Cameroon and South Africa on the CAF Ranking.

Mercy Tagoe's side have failed to climb the standings since dropping from the 50th position as they have been leapfrogged by South African into third on the standings.

The Black Queens accumulated 1401 points to place 60th on World Ranking.

The Super Falcons of Nigeria remain at the top of the ranking with 1614 points, followed by Cameroon with 1455 and South Africa on third position with 1434.

Black Queens participated in the 2020 Turkish Cup tournament earlier in March where they finished third in the competition in Turkey.

At the very top, USA’s (1st, unchanged) long reign continues after the world champions lifted the SheBelieves Cup on home soil.

But Germany (2nd, unchanged) at least narrowed the gap after impressing at the Algarve Cup gaining 12 Ranking points – more than any other top-10 team in this edition.

France (3rd, up 1), Brazil (8th, up 1), Korea DPR (10th, up 1) and Korea Republic (18th, up 2) edged upwards in the top 20, while Slovenia (49th, up 1) and Jamaica (50th, up 1) reached their highest-ever positions.

Also, the global order also welcomed its newest addition, with Gambia (113th) increasing the number of teams ranked to 159 – the second-highest number on record.
