Black Stars ranked 24th best team at 2022 World Cup
Ghana ranked 24th out of the 32 nations that participated at the just ended 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The Black Stars who started the competition as the lowest ranked county failed to qualify to the knockout round.
Ghana beat South Korea in between defeats to Portugal and Uruguay to finish bottom of Group H.
Argentina were crowned winners after an epic final France at the Lusail Stadium on Sunday.
Croatia won the third place game against Morocco, who made history as the first African country to make it to the semi-final of the World Cup.
It was another miserable tournament for Germany, joining Belgium as the biggest underachievers.
