Nigeria Professional League side Remo Stars have completed the signing of Ghanaian youngsters Daniel Akanbek and Emmanuel Ofori.
Following their underwhelming performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament, the Black Stars of Ghana have experienced a significant decline in the February FIFA World Rankings.
Previously holding the 61st position at the close of 2023, the team has now plummeted to 67th globally, marking a notable slide down the rankings both globally and on the African continent.
In the CAF rankings, Ghana now occupies the 14th position, with Cape Verde, South Africa, and DR Congo overtaking the four-time AFCON champions.
These shifts in rankings come in the aftermath of the conclusion of the 2023 AFCON, hosted in Cote d'Ivoire, where the host team, the Elephants, emerged victorious on home soil.
Ghana's premature exit from the tournament occurred at the group stage, securing only two points from their encounters against Cape Verde, Egypt, and Mozambique.
Meanwhile, Côte d'Ivoire (39th, up 10) basks in the rewards of their continental triumph at home. Despite their commendable progress, Nigeria, the tournament runners-up (28th, up 14), are surpassed by Angola (93rd, up 24), the team they defeated in the quarter-finals, making Angola the most improved side in the latest global rankings.
