The victory of the Black Princesses of Ghana over Nigeria in the final of the women’s football of the 13th African Games on Thursday, March 21, 2024, has taken the country's medals tally to 50.

Team Ghana had 49 medals prior to the women's finals, with 10 of them being gold, 23 being silver and 16 being bronze.

There were also significant movements outside the top five on the table, with Morocco jumping from ninth to seventh, pushing Mauritius, who previously held the position, to eighth.

Kenya, ranked 11th on Wednesday, broke into the top ten after winning four medals on Thursday, March 21, 2024. They are now ninth on the medal table.

Eritrea, who had been lying on 8th for some days, has been pushed two steps lower, with Ethiopia dropping to 11th after garnering fourteen medals.

The top five of the table, however, witnessed no significant changes, with Egypt still leading the pack with 175 medals, eight more than they had on Wednesday.

Nigeria won eight more medals on Thursday, which has seen their tally go up to 98. They have now equalled the medal haul of third-placed South Africa, but lead due to the difference in gold medal honors.

While Nigeria has so far won 37 gold medals, South Africa has managed 29, which is four more than fourth-placed Algeria, who have 24 gold medals.

In total, Algeria has won 99 medals with 33 silver and 44 bronze.

Completing the top five is Tunisia, whose medal accumulation has shot up from 66 on Wednesday, to 73, which is a significantly impressive jump.

At the bottom of the table, Ghana’s eastern neighbour, Togo is ranked 36th, with just three medals to their credit.
